Framer Developer and Life long learner.

👋 Hey there! I am Santosh Sonnad, a product designer based in Karnataka, India. With over 2.5 years of experience as a product designer, I've designed web and mobile experiences for cross-platform applications. I've worked with fast-paced startups and mid-sized companies across B2B, B2C, and SaaS domains, with projects in HR-tech, e-commerce, and business.

I believe that great design should not only look beautiful but also serve a purpose. I approach each project with a focus on understanding user needs and creating solutions that are both functional and delightful to use.

My Design Principles

My Design Principles

#1 Kaizen

The word ‘Kaizen’ means continuous improvement. Never settle for mediocrity, There's always room to make our designs better, one iteration at a time.

#2 Delight by Design

Subtle interactions, playful animations, and creative copy—Tiny design elements like these create magical user experiences.

#3 Details Matter (A Lot)

The design details of a product reflects its brand. From spacing, typography, component sizing to micro-copy, each element should be meticulously crafted.

#4 Design for humans

Good design balances between aesthetics & functionality while showing empathy towards the user's emotions, behaviours, and jobs-to-be-done.
