Hey, I'm Surbhi! ✨
I’m a Product Designer with a mission to craft exceptional experiences balancing functionality, usability, and aesthetics. With over a decade of diverse experience, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and creative problem-solving skills to every project. I aim to optimize digital experiences through thoughtful, data-driven design, regardless of the scale or complexity of the challenge.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with cross-functional teams comprising engineers, designers, and product managers. Drawing on my past experiences, I possess a keen ability to navigate technical intricacies and ensure feasibility in design implementations.
Few things I value the most:
☺️ Honesty and kindness
🤝 Collaboration
💬 Communication
🌱 Eagerness to learn and grow
When I’m not working, you can find me painting with vibrant colors (See below👇), traveling, cooking, or watching Netflix.
Testimonials
“Surbhi is the type of designer that will engage deeply in the problem space. She is eager to learn the ins and outs of the product and the users who use it. She seeks out the constraints and questions how to work and design around them. She brings a natural curiosity and a learner's mindset to the work and process. You can trust that she will ask meaningful, tough, and thoughtful questions in a room that drives the design discourse forward. As such, the quality of the work and the outcomes that result are elevated to a higher level. She is someone who will have an immediate impact!”
Van Ho - Senior Director, Design
“I worked with Surbhi for about 1.5 years through design problems ranging in complexity from trivially simple to mind-bogglingly complicated. Whether a project took a day to complete or a month to simply define a direction, Surbhi has always strived for the most elegant design solution available while grappling with the necessary compromises that come with working in a resource- and technically-constrained environment. One thing Surbhi has never compromised on, however, is keeping the user in mind. Surbhi is an end user's greatest ally because she is always an advocate for their experience. This isn't just lip service, either. Surbhi prioritizes user feedback and data collection (and pushing through barriers to get to the data she needs) to inform her design decisions in a way that far surpasses the efforts of her peers. Surbhi is the empathetic user advocate that all designers should strive to be, and she should be a highly-sought member of any team in need of a UX designer.”
Christopher Walker - Product Manager
“ I worked with Surbhi on a volunteer project to create a website for the tour service in Africa. While the project had many challenges such as a tight timeline, a lack of resources, and more, Surbhi and other teammates created such an amazing result. Throughout the project, Surbhi has been passionate and dedicated. She always asked important questions and seek clear communication which was very essential in a remote project. The project definitely wouldn’t have been the same without Surbhi. Thank you Surbhi and I’m really looking forward to other impacts you will create with your design! “
DaHee Kang - Founder of UX Rescue
“I worked with Surbhi for almost two years and played an active part in her hiring process. Throughout our time together, I served as a design mentor and we maintained weekly touchpoints to discuss highs, lows, and everything in between. Although we largely supported different products, these meetings gave me insight into her thought processes, the way she handles difficult situations, and just how great of a human she is. Surbhi exemplifies many traits of a thoughtful and skilled product designer and problem solver. She always strives to deeply understand product pain points and constraints to come up with user-centric solutions. Surbhi is proactive in her communications around identifying problems and driving teams towards solving them collectively. She is a natural people-person who brings a sense of joy, camaraderie, and collaboration to teams she's a part of, and I'm fortunate to have worked with her!”
