SUSHANTA

10+ years in UX, based in India. I've worked across early-stage startups and enterprise products. Most recently at Happening Design, where I designed for networking and cloud management tools complex, technical products where clarity isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole job.

I don't just run UX processes. I make decisions, argue for trade-offs, and sometimes push back on research that doesn't hold up under scrutiny. I care about what ships, not what looked good in the case study.

What's changing for me right now? I'm actively adapting to AI, not as a trend, but as a shift in how design work actually gets done. I use AI to compress research cycles, stress-test design decisions faster, and move closer to implementation. The gap between design and engineering is shrinking. I want to be someone who works on both sides of that gap.
