There’s a person
behind the cursor.

And he’s usually curious about something.

Ujjwal Tandon
Ujjwal, away from the artboard.

Designer. Tinkerer.
Always learning something new.

I started out making digital art, bringing the things in my head to life. That led me to product design, where creativity meets the harder job of making things useful.

Today I help startups and brands build expressive, engaging software: as a Product Designer at Thence, and as the founding designer at Scout. The work spans investing platforms, AI products, and everything in between.

I’m based in Bengaluru. Away from the screen, I’m mixing tracks, solving a cube, or getting a little too invested in game night.

Design that
moved the needle.

Highlights from two years at Invact,
designing for learners and sales teams.

From pixels
to products.

From NFT art in 2021 to fintech
and AI products today.

    Thence Digital

    Product Designer

    End-to-end UX and UI for a large-scale retail investing and trading platform, across equities, derivatives, algo trading, mutual funds, and portfolio analytics. Alongside it: the launch page for Tanishq Mriganka, and projects for brands in home appliances and fresh food.

    What I worked on
    • Researched 15+ Indian and global investment platforms and built a five-persona framework to shape personalised homepages, information architecture, and product decisions.
    • Designed investing and trading experiences across portfolio intelligence, watchlists, stock discovery, options, algorithmic trading, stock SIPs, alerts, IPOs, research, and search.
    • Turned complex performance, diversification, and risk metrics into clear visuals across equity and mutual fund experiences, including performance charts, benchmark comparisons, and a four-pillar portfolio score.
    • Built and maintained reusable components and interaction patterns in the product design system, keeping mobile and web consistent as the platform scaled.
    • Took core platform experiences from research and early concepts through interaction design, prototyping, and development-ready handoff over a seven-month engagement, working with product managers and engineers and reviewing builds for accuracy.
    • Used AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, Figma MCP) to prototype faster and automate repetitive handoff work.
    • Designed the launch landing page for Mriganka, Tanishq’s handcrafted gold collection.
    • Also worked on projects for a leading home appliances brand and a D2C fresh food brand.
    • Prototyped confidential internal concepts across AI and emerging products for validation and stakeholder alignment.

    Other client names are withheld under confidentiality agreements.

    • Designed a modular drag-and-drop onboarding canvas, with conditions, custom modules, nudges, and integrations for adaptive user journeys.
    • Built functional prototypes with AI-assisted development to validate interaction models before engineering commitment.
    • Explored AI agents, conversational UX, and human-AI interaction for persona-based guidance before and after onboarding.

    • Built Bubbles: lead assignment, tagging, reminders, and dashboards that cut response delays, prevented overlaps, and gave managers visibility.
    • Improved LMS usability by 30% and reduced churn by 50% by restructuring layout, navigation, and accessibility, based on 50+ user interviews.
    • Increased user activation by 20% in three months with a redesigned onboarding flow and journey tracking.
    • Boosted operational efficiency by 40% by simplifying the internal evaluation tool.
    • Shipped four landing pages that drove 46,000+ enrolments, doubled email subscriptions, and lifted CTR by 60%.
    • Cut lead conversion time from 5 days to 3.5 hours by integrating WATI, SendGrid, Google Calendar, and WebinarJam.
