About me
Kalyan m
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Interaction Design at CSU East Bay, where I’m deepening my understanding of user behavior, systems thinking, and creative technology.
I’m passionate about solving problems through thoughtful, human-centered design transforming complexity into intuitive digital experiences. Beyond design, I enjoy photography, sketching, and watching and listening to podcasts that expand my perspective.
what I can do for you
I design digital products that make complex problems simple and intuitive for people. I focus on clarity, usability, and creating experiences that actually work in the real world.
1. DISCOVER THE REAL PROBLEM
I start with observation, user conversations, and lived context
I look for behavior patterns, not just surface-level requests
I define the real gap behind the problem
2. SYNTHESIZE INTO CLEAR DIRECTION
I turn research into insights, personas, and user journeys
I translate messy information into focused product decisions
I define design goals that guide the experience
3. DESIGN, TEST & ITERATE
I create flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity interfaces
I design for usability, hierarchy, edge cases, and interaction states
I refine through feedback, testing, and visual polish
4. BUILD WITH MODERN TOOLS
I use AI tools like Cursor to move faster from design to prototype
I translate designs into SwiftUI/Xcode prototypes when needed
I bridge the gap between static mockups and working product experiences

My Tech Stack
I design with intention and precision. From research and wireframing to interactive prototypes and production-ready interfaces, these tools support how I think, build, and refine digital experiences.
Figma
My primary tool for UI/UX desig from wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes and design systems.
Adobe XD
Used for rapid prototyping, interaction design, and validating user flows.
Miro
For research synthesis, user journeys, brainstorming, and collaborative workshops.
Framer
For building interactive, responsive web experiences and translating design into production.
Cursor AI
AI-powered development assistant that helps streamline coding workflows and accelerate experimentation.
Claude Code
AI-assisted development tool I use to transform product concepts into functional prototypes and accelerate design exploration through implementation.
OUTSIDE WORK
I recharge through sketching, photography, exploring new places, and listening to podcasts. I’m always collecting small details from everyday life details that shape how I think about people, products, and experiences.
