I'm Rutvi Tapikar, a product-focused UI/UX designer based in Indore, India. I have 2 years of hands-on experience designing digital products across fintech, e-commerce, education, and AI-powered tools. I work end-to-end—from user interviews and surveys to usability testing—mapping user flows, information architecture, and delivering low-to-high fidelity designs. I craft style guides and design systems ready for engineering handoff. I design for native mobile and web with a strong eye for color theory, typography, and accessible, WCAG-aware design. I frequently integrate AI tools (Figma AI, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate iteration and collaborate with cross-functional product teams. I bring an ownership mindset and a track record of delivering high-quality, accessible experiences on tight deadlines.
