Hi, I am (Rish)ikesh Raut
A product designer who codes (and occasionally plays Call of Duty like it’s a full-time job).
I blend creativity with logic—designing clean, human-centered digital experiences backed by research, prototyping, and a sprinkle of gut instinct. My background spans product analytics, UX design, front-end dev, and freelancing across startups and nonprofits. Right now, I’m exploring how to make tech feel more like a conversation and less like a manual.
What I Bring to the Table
🧩 Design Thinking: From rough sketches to pixel-perfect mockups, I obsess over the “why” behind every click.
🧪 Product Strategy: I think beyond UI, business goals and user needs go hand-in-hand.
🛠️ Front-End Skills: I speak fluent HTML/CSS and dabble in JavaScript + Tailwind to prototype and build.
🎮 Team Player: Whether it’s Figma or football, I thrive in collaborative environments.
Born and raised in Pune, now based in Canada. I'm also an amateur photographer, a weekend athlete, and someone who finds joy in making people laugh (or at least try). I value curiosity, kindness, and meaningful work.
