🏆 Top Rated Plus — Top 3% of UI UX designers on Upwork 🏆 10+ years of UI/UX and graphic design experience (M.F.A. trained) 🏆 99% Job Success | 2,200+ hours delivered on Upwork 🏆 Senior designer at Alian Software — Top Rated Plus agency, 179,000+ Upwork hours A decade of design. One promise: interfaces your users won't need a manual for. I'm Rahul — Senior UI/UX Designer specializing in SaaS platforms, web apps, dashboards, mobile apps, and Shopify stores in Figma. Most of my 2,200+ Upwork hours come from long-term engagements where clients kept extending the contract. That's the stat I'm most proud of: people who hire me tend to keep me. ⸻ WHEN TEAMS BRING ME IN ⸻ • Your SaaS product grew feature by feature — and now every screen feels crowded • Users need a training call to do what should be self-evident • Your dashboard shows everything and communicates nothing • Enterprise buyers or investors are judging your product by its polish • You're adding AI features and need users to actually trust and understand them If any of these sound familiar, that's the exact work my longest engagements are made of. ⸻ WHO I WORK BEST WITH ⸻ • SaaS founders and product teams — from first MVP to Series B scale-up • Teams with complex, data-heavy products: ERP, analytics, admin panels, internal tools • Companies that want product UI and brand identity speaking one visual language • E-commerce brands on Shopify or Shopify Plus that want store pages with product-grade polish • Agencies that need a senior designer for white-label work ⸻ WHERE I DO MY BEST WORK ⸻ → SaaS & Dashboard Design: ERP platforms, admin panels, subscription and analytics dashboards — dense data turned into screens that make sense at a glance. My longest engagement: 550+ hours designing a single web application, screen by screen, release after release. → AI Product UX: chat interfaces, copilots, and AI-assisted workflows designed for clarity and trust — visible AI states, review-and-confirm flows, and human control instead of black boxes. Backed by an agency that builds AI products daily. → Mobile App UI/UX: iOS and Android app design in Figma — user flows, wireframes, clickable prototypes, and final UI ready for developer handoff. → Shopify & E-commerce Design: store designs and product page layouts built to sell, not just to look good. Multiple 5-star Shopify projects delivered, including Shopify Plus work. → Brand & Graphic Design: I hold an M.F.A. in Fine Arts, so alongside product design I cover logo design, brand identity, presentations, social media graphics, and packaging. Your app, website, and marketing stay visually consistent. ⸻ MY DESIGN PROCESS ⸻ 1. Discovery & UX Research — your business goals, your users, their pain points 2. User Flows & Wireframing — mapping the structure before touching visuals 3. UI Design — high-fidelity screens on a consistent, token-based visual system 4. Prototyping — interactive Figma prototypes to validate the journey before development 5. Developer Handoff — auto-layout, components, and variables, organized so handoff is clean and revisions are cheap ⸻ WHAT YOU GET ⸻ • Organized Figma files: auto-layout, components, variables, and design tokens that scale • User flows, wireframes, and a clickable prototype • Design system foundations your next ten features can reuse • Accessibility-minded screens (contrast, hierarchy, WCAG basics — relevant for EU clients under the European Accessibility Act) • Every payment and milestone protected through Upwork ⸻ THE AGENCY ADVANTAGE ⸻ I'm a senior designer at Alian Software — a Top Rated Plus agency with 179,000+ Upwork hours across Shopify, web, mobile, and AI development.
