Kevin Thakkar — Product Designer
As a passionate UX/Product Designer, I am driven by the challenge of creating seamless, user-centric digital experiences that make a meaningful impact. Guided by a commitment to accessibility and inclusive design, I aim to bridge the gap between user needs, business objectives, and innovative design solutions. My expertise spans user research, prototyping, interaction design, and developing scalable design systems that empower users and drive business success. With over two years of experience across industries like SaaS, health tech, and fantasy sports, I have refined my skills in designing intuitive solutions and solving complex challenges. At Sleeper, I enhanced onboarding flows and contributed to engaging features like NBA jersey assets and the Euro Pick’em game, elevating user engagement for millions. At LineupX, I streamlined design handoffs and optimized design systems, improving efficiency for enterprise applications. As the founder of CHab, I led a cross-functional team to redesign key features, boosting usability metrics and aligning with stakeholder objectives. My journey from physical therapy to UX design has shaped a unique perspective on accessibility and empathy, which I bring to every project. Recognized for my work through honors like the GLISSA Endowed Scholarship, I continue to collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful, user-centric solutions. Beyond work, I enjoy playing cricket and exploring creative pursuits, always eager to learn, grow, and craft designs that inspire and empower.
