I used this expertise to design and build solutions as a Product Designer across healthcare, retail and tech industry shipping B2C and SaaS end-to-end.

I love to take on problems nobody's defined yet from research to design and I've done it leading both designers and engineers, not just executing a brief.

What people say!

What people say!

“I had the pleasure of working with Chaiti on an intensive 14-week project that required us to conduct a contextual inquiry, design prototypes, and test the prototypes in a series of moderated usability tests. Chaiti was essential in ensuring insights from our user research were strategically and intelligently reflected in the prototype designs.”

Diamond Kenny

UX Researcher @Hubspot

“Chaitanya owned the front end of the product and led a team of two designers and three developers, while coordinating with the backend and data teams. What stood out most was his rigor on the AI side. Many early-career PMs struggle to evaluate AI output well, and he made it a core part of how the product was built.”

Dr Nancy Li

Forbes | CEO PM Accelerator

“Chai and I collaborated closely on a project to build out a library of user personas. He started out just observing interviews and by the end of the project, he was able to confidently and compassionately lead interviews, review all the research notes, and synthesize findings into clear, thoughtful, and beautifully designed persona documentation.”

Varun Khatri

CEO @Simbott Solutions Inc.

“What sets Chaitanya apart is that he can hold his own on both the research and visual design sides. That kind of range is something at any level, but especially this early in a career. I'd recommend Chai to any team without hesitation. He is structured, collaborative, and comfortable with ambiguity. I’d happily recommend him for any AI product role..”
