Hi 👋

I’m Yaamini (yah-mini)

I’m a UX/UI Designer with 15+ years of experience across SaaS, embedded insurance, travel, and banking.

My background spans visual design, research, and data-informed problem solving, with experience managing and mentoring design teams in both startup and enterprise environments.

I'm drawn to complex problems where user needs, business goals, and data intersect, using design to create intuitive experiences with measurable impact.

I've spent my career partnering with cross-functional teams to launch products, improve customer experiences, and build scalable design solutions, while leading teams and mentoring designers along the way.

Outside of design, I'm an avid traveler.

I've spent nine months traveling solo (2011) and another nine months exploring the world with my husband (2025), driven by a curiosity for different cultures, great food, stunning landscapes, and experiences that have pushed me beyond my comfort zones.

If you're curious, I've shared stories and reflections from those journeys on Substack.
