Product Designer & Problem Solver.

Vineeth Nair

Hello, I'm Vineeth 👋

Current working as a Product Designer at ZestMoney, the largest and fastest-growing consumer lending fintech company in India. Minimal principles are the basis of my work, with a well thought out theory behind them. The focus of my work varies between mediums ranging from: user experience and interfaces, web design and development, and branding.

I have a deep understanding of design systems, user research, and product design. While working as Product Designer at Intugine, I was assigned to lead the design of a product during my internship period with a Pre-placement offer. I also got the opportunity to work on different products delivering innovative concepts, wireframes, low and high fidelity prototypes, and also, to create engaging user experiences across multiple platforms.

I’m used to working in a dynamic user-centred design process where we let quantitative and qualitative customer data guide but not make our decisions. As a UI/UX Intern at NotchUp, an ed-tech Indian Startup, I conducted 20+ user interviews and conducted multiple kinds of research to identify the pain points which helped me in designing a community platform for students.

My strongest quality is analytical thinking, which allows me to effectively complete the entire cycle of the product design process. As the lead designer of Dibbs, I was able to handle the complexity they were facing with their previous app design that was not very appealing to their target users. Dibbs is a mobile-app platform that’s backed by the investor of LinkedIn and Microsoft which provides the easiest solution to automate buying and selling in the construction industry

WRITINGS, SPEAKING & ELSEWHERE

Technology can be used to learn many different things, from how the world works to new ways to solve a specific problem in our world today and in the future. I have started my journey being an active member of tech communities. Tech Communities has always been a strong base for me, in the past and it continues to inspire me to believe there is much more to every skill that you have or you want to possess. In short, to be grounded and to never stop learning. In such a short period, I have got numerous opportunities to express myself and to contribute to it out of my experience. Follow my journey here as I add more!

3. How Tech Communities can help you while in College? Experience Sharing.
To help the upcoming graduates to have a better understanding of the community and the various benefits of being a part of it, I've coordinated with a college community - TinkerHub SIAS to deliver a talk on 'How Tech Communities can help you while in College?'.

4. Out of Syllabus
Coding is no rocket science and it can be even taught at the school level. In a chat with Team Fayz, as the Co-Founder and Executive Director of KuttyCoders Community, a non-profit community to upskill school students, I’ve shared my experience on how we started a community of 5000+ students and how they find value in it.

5. AMA on KuttyCoders Community
Teaching is considered one of the noblest deeds in our culture. On an AMA series show conducted by Student Developer Society, I was invited to talk on KuttyCoders Community, our initiative that teaches kids to express themselves through code.
