Product design
I take a problem from funnel data to shipped screens and stay on it until the number moves.
I designed products used by 5M+ people, turning complex workflows into measurable business growth.

Design systems
I build the thing that makes everyone else faster, then keep it alive after launch.
Research that changes decisions
I run the research myself and tie every finding to a decision someone shipped.
Selected Works
Slot Booking Experience
Users could find a venue and reach the slot selection screen, but making the final decision wasn't always straightforward. They had to figure out when their session would end, how long they were booking, what they would pay, and whether they were getting the best available option

Community Experience
Playo already had Groups, but they were primarily a way to keep players together. The experience had limited information and no proper way to see what was happening next.
We rethought Groups as Squads: a richer social space where players could understand the community, discover upcoming games, communicate and keep playing together.

Gen AI Projects
From creative automation to hiring intelligence, these projects explore how AI can augment workflows rather than replace human decision-making
Australia Post Parcel Sorter
A one-scan app that tells a post office where every parcel goes (Town, Country, PO Box or Counter), so the morning sort makes the 7 AM van.
UNDO
A calm iPhone puzzle: pull strands and tilt the phone to untangle glossy 3D knots, with one quiet invitation a day.
Stickskate
An endless stickman skateboarding game drawn in ink on paper, with slow-motion flips across city, jungle, desert, beach and snow.
CandiTracker - Internal ATS
An AI-powered applicant tracking system that helps evaluate, rank and manage designer candidates with structured hiring workflows.
Looped
Recolour Lottie animations instantly using AI-assisted vector editing, with exports for JSON, SVG and GIF.
LogoPlay
A visual playground for designing logos with shape builder, clipping tools, preset shapes and a pen tool — no design experience required.
About Me
I'm Jithin, a product designer inspired by people, places, and how they move. I sketch, I travel, and I play badminton, pickleball and cricket.
At home it's usually a small tool I'm building with AI. Lately, more design events around Melbourne, mostly to meet people.

Your satisfaction is my priority. See what others have to say
Jithin’s impact at Playo went beyond design. During COVID, he took a salary reduction to help support the wider team. He brought that same ownership to his work, always pushing for quality and perfection while keeping business impact at the centre. He has been a valuable part of Playo’s growth over the years.
Worked with Jithin at Playo and found him reliable, proactive, and easy to work with. He takes ownership, communicates clearly, and always follows through on his work. I’d happily recommend him to any team looking for a great designer.
Jithin was my mentor during my first product design internship at Playo. He’s a thoughtful, skilled designer who genuinely listens, encourages different perspectives, and generously shares his knowledge. Always open to experimenting and innovating, he’s someone I’d happily recommend to any team.
Jithin helped me create some great creative banners that have been installed across premium venues. His eye for detail and ability to translate ideas into strong visual communication made a real impact.
Jithin designs with development in mind, making handoffs clear and practical. His attention to interaction details helps us ship polished experiences faster.
