About

I design high-stakes financial and AI products where UX determines whether users trust the system enough to act. Over 5 years, I've led design across Skeps (BNPL and POS lending), StrateFai (AI-powered crypto wealth automation), Pooch Dating (US consumer app), and Anthoo (AI fitness platform), from Series A enterprise fintech to 0→1 consumer products. Before any of this, I co-founded WebBucket Solutions at 18 and bootstrapped it to ₹50L+ revenue in under two years. What that work has produced: → $1B+ in loans distributed through lending platforms I led at Skeps → $5M+ monthly GMV across 12 merchants through unified UX and onboarding → 12% → 38% conversion on a US-market consumer app (Pooch Dating) → 30% reduction in design-to-dev time via modular design system and Figma tokens → Contributed to Skeps' $9.5M Series A through investor-aligned prototyping On AI, I work on both sides. I design AI-native products: trust architecture, transparency patterns, and progressive disclosure for systems that automate decisions. And I run AI-augmented workflows: research synthesis, rapid iteration, generative prototyping. Both from direct product experience, not theory. I own the full product surface, research, design systems, edge case mapping, dev collaboration, and roadmap decisions. I've contributed to fundraising, GTM strategy, and MVP scoping. Not just Figma files. 🌐 theshashankkumar.com
