©2025 Vanya Rawat


Product designer with a track record of leading end-to-end design projects for global brands including Mondelez, Amazon, TATA AIG, Airtel, Byju’s, ALLEN, and ICICI Lombard—impacting over 100M users across insurance, education, SaaS, e-commerce, and healthcare sectors. 
I specialise in designing human-centred systems and experiences that simplify complexity and enhance usability.

With a strong foundation in systems thinking, UX research, and design strategy, I create thoughtful, scalable solutions that balance business 
needs and user empathy. Passionate about transition design and innovation for impact, I aim to use design to shape adaptive systems, 
challenge the status quo and enable more equitable, future-facing outcomes.

When I'm not reading, I enjoy petting dogs, hiking, swimming, and keeping up with pop culture.
