About me

Hi, I'm Deenaz, a Senior Product Designer based in Bangalore with 10+ years of experience designing digital products across diverse domains.

I'm naturally curious and enjoy asking questions that help uncover the real problem before jumping into solutions. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams, making sense of complexity, and crafting experiences that are simple, intuitive, and meaningful.

I'm driven by thoughtful design, continuous learning, and the belief that the best products are built through empathy and collaboration.

My work spans healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS, from early-stage startups to large product teams, where I've designed everything from 0→1 features to complex, large-scale systems. Along the way I've owned product direction, shaped design systems, and mentored designers to help teams raise the bar on craft.

I like to design. Do you like good design?
