Welcome

Hi, I'm Vignesh. I design with purpose, not just pixels.

I'm a Product Designer, Interaction Designer and UX Researcher focused on creating end-to-end digital experiences. From research and usability insights to interaction design and final interfaces, I design products that are intuitive, meaningful and built around real user needs.

I also use AI tools as part of my design workflow to explore, iterate and work more efficiently.

Based in Dublin, working across AI-driven and traditional interfaces. My approach is unglamorous on purpose: find where people hesitate, understand why, then remove the reason.

Research first, structure second, surface last. I like systems. I like when a screen stops needing an explanation.

What I do

Things I'm good at, all day

Four things I get hired for, and the parts of each I actually spend my time on.

UX & Product Design

Turning ambiguous problems into clear, structured interfaces — from early discovery through to the interactions people actually touch.

End-to-end UX Interaction design Complex flows Prototyping Wireframing

Design Systems

The infrastructure that makes good design repeatable: components, tokens, and documentation that survives contact with a real team.

Component libraries Design tokens Documentation Accessibility

Research & Testing

Watching real people use the thing, then fixing what actually broke — not what we assumed would.

User interviews Surveys Usability testing Service blueprints Co-design

AI-Assisted Workflows

Using AI where it genuinely helps — drafting, synthesis, exploration — while the decisions stay with a person who can defend them.

EduFusion e-learning platform cover

EduFusion · E-Learning Platform

Students were dropping out of online courses due to decision fatigue, unclear learning paths, and low motivation. I redesigned the experience to guide learners toward successful course completion.

·Replaced an open catalogue with a guided path
·Made progress legible so momentum was visible
·Tested with learners mid-course, not after

Russborough House · Inclusive Heritage

A 300-year-old heritage site had invisible barriers preventing visitors from accessing its stories. I designed an inclusive app supporting pre-visit planning, in-app assistance, and multimodal storytelling.

·Mapped the visit as a service, not a set of screens
·Co-designed with visitors who had been excluded
·Told each story in more than one modality

GadgetGo · Rental Platform

Students and creators struggled to trust rental platforms because of unclear pricing and complex booking. I redesigned the experience with simplified flows and trust-building moments that encourage bookings.

·Rebuilt pricing disclosure so the total is never a surprise
·Cut the booking flow to the steps that carry a decision
·Added trust signals at the moments people hesitated

UI Experience

Interfaces, in motion

Live walkthroughs of landing pages I've designed — scroll behaviour, pacing and transitions shown the way people actually experience them, not as static frames.

Where I've done the work

Three roles across contract, freelance and heritage research — each one owned end to end, from the problem through to what shipped.

Aug 2026 — Present

UX/UI Designer & Content Designer

Phoenix Solutions · Internship
·As a first task, researched and evaluated 3,051 Irish and UK companies for a client engagement, shortlisting the strongest 200 against client criteria to inform targeted design and outreach strategy.
·Working as Content Designer for the Aalee brand within Phoenix Solutions — writing, creating and designing digital content, social and marketing posters, and editing video content to support brand and product storytelling.
·Partnered with designers, marketers and stakeholders from day one to keep visual and written content consistent with brand guidelines and campaign goals.
·Applied UI/UX design principles — visual hierarchy, typography and layout — across content and campaign assets to improve clarity and engagement.
Feb 2026 — Jun 2026

UX/UI Designer

PixelDrip · Contract
·Owned wireframes through high-fidelity UI end to end, translating product requirements into shippable interaction models rather than working from finished specs.
·Used AI-assisted workflows by default — generating concepts across visual directions quickly, then narrowing through structured critique and testing.
·Built and evolved a scalable design system and style guide — variants, auto layout, design tokens — to hold up as the screen count grew.
·Worked directly with product managers and engineers from early problem-shaping through handoff, keeping decisions grounded in what was feasible to build.
May 2025 — Aug 2025

UX/UI Designer & Researcher

Russborough House
·Owned the end-to-end journey for an accessibility-focused workstream — research, personas, journey maps and final UI — in an operationally constrained environment.
·Led usability research to identify interaction barriers for neurodivergent and diverse visitors, using findings to argue for specific directions with stakeholders.
·Facilitated co-design workshops, balancing accessibility requirements against real operational constraints.
·Redesigned the information architecture from research findings to reduce cognitive overload for visitors and operations staff.
Sept 2024 — Sept 2025 MSc Human-Computer Interaction University College Dublin — interaction design, user research, cognitive ergonomics, accessible & inclusive design, design systems.
