About

UX Designer with 3.5 years designing end-to-end digital products for enterprise and B2B platforms. I own design from research through shipped interfaces, working closely with engineering and product teams. My work reduces real friction: 25% fewer support queries at Colonial Stock Transfer, 82% user adoption at Johnson Controls, 30-35% reduction in pattern-level UX issues at Mercor. I specialize in: - Design systems and scalable component libraries (Figma, WCAG 2.2) - User research: interviews, usability testing, A/B testing, NASA-TLX, Atlas.ti - AI-assisted design workflows (Cursor AI, Figma AI, Claude) - Cross-functional collaboration with engineering in Agile environments Recent work spans regulated financial services (Colonial Stock Transfer), enterprise access control (Johnson Controls), and AI product evaluation (Mercor). My research background in Human-Centered AI at Indiana University's COMET Lab gives me a grounding in how people actually interact with AI-powered systems, not just how we assume they do. MS in Human-Computer Interaction, Indiana University Indianapolis (GPA 3.97). BS in Computer Science, JSSATE Bengaluru. Open to full-time UX / Product Designer roles in the US. Open to relocation anywhere in the US. Portfolio: shruthipawar.com Email: shruthipawar2501@gmail.com
