HITESH SHARMA — Head of Design

I don't just design screens - I design outcomes. In 5 years as Head of Design and founding team member at Multipl (a fintech startup), I built the design function from zero: defined the UX strategy, established the design system, hired and mentored the team, and helped scale the product to 500,000+ active users and 200+ brand partners. That's the kind of end-to-end design ownership I bring to every role. With 10+ years across fintech, SaaS, and consumer apps, I've led design at every stage — from zero-to-one MVPs to mature product ecosystems. My work sits at the intersection of sharp visual design, rigorous UX thinking, and real business impact. 🤖 AI is now core to how I work — not a side skill. I use Midjourney and Adobe Firefly for rapid concept visualisation, ChatGPT for UX writing and microcopy, Figma AI plugins for faster prototyping, and AI-assisted user research synthesis. This lets me move faster, explore more directions, and deliver higher quality work in less time. What I bring to a team: → Full design ownership — from research and IA to high-fidelity UI and handoff → Design systems that scale across platforms and teams → AI-augmented workflows that cut iteration time significantly → Cross-functional collaboration with engineering, product, and marketing → UX writing, onboarding flows, and conversion-focused microcopy → Strong stakeholder communication and design advocacy Core tools: Figma · Adobe XD · Photoshop · Illustrator · Midjourney · Adobe Firefly · ChatGPT · Figma · HTML/CSS I'm actively looking for Senior / Lead / Head of Design roles — remote, hybrid, or on-site across India, Dubai, or Germany. If you're building a product where design is a competitive advantage, let's talk. 📩 hitesh_sharma83@ymail.com 🌐 hiteshsharma83.wordpress.com 🎨 behance.net/hitesh_sharma

Lead UI/UX Designer

Apr 2020 – Oct 2025 · 5 yrs 6 mos · Bangalore Urban · Remote

Joined as a founding team member and built the entire design function from zero — established the design system, UX processes, research framework, and grew the product to 500,000+ active users and 200+ brand partners in under 5 years.
▸ Defined the UX strategy and product vision as the first designer, collaborating directly with founders and engineers to ship the MVP — the product that became Multipl's core fintech platform.
▸ Designed and scaled a comprehensive design system across web and mobile that reduced design-to-dev handoff time significantly and ensured visual consistency at scale.
▸ Led a 40% increase in user engagement through data-informed redesigns of core user flows — goal-setting, rewards, onboarding, and KYC journeys.
▸ Drove the complete UI/UX for both web and mobile platforms — from information architecture and wireframing to high-fidelity prototypes and developer handoff using Figma.
▸ Established and led a UX research practice from scratch — user interviews, usability testing, journey mapping — translating insights directly into product decisions.
▸ Partnered with marketing to grow social media presence from 0 to 11,000 followers through strategic design of brand content, video thumbnails, emailers, and campaign assets.
▸ Collaborated with legal and compliance teams to align all in-app messaging and onboarding flows with SEBI regulatory guidelines — a critical requirement for fintech products.
▸ Pioneered AI-augmented design workflows — introduced Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and ChatGPT into the design process for faster concept ideation, UX copy, and asset generation.
