About
Hi, I’m Suwardhan, a Product designer making interfaces more usable and experiences a bit more friendly.
Recently, I have been working with teams in the Enterprise domain, helping them design or redesign enterprise apps in Finance, Accounting, Cloud security, Marketing, and Edu-tech domain. In parallel, I take a special interest in supporting design teams with a consistent design library. You can check my project with Recko about the same here.
In my spare time, always open to chatting about cricket, video games, mountains & obviously, design.
