Three things I own end to end

From finding the right problem to shipping the solution, I stay close to every part of the process. I combine product thinking, systems, and research to turn complex problems into outcomes that matter.

Product design

I take a problem from funnel data to shipped screens and stay on it until the number moves.

+ Booking funnel rebuild, 28.7% more charged bookings

+ Community redesign, 98 to 1,486 activities a month

+ Four areas at once: consumer, community, B2B, subscription

Design systems

I build the thing that makes everyone else faster, then keep it alive after launch.

+ Bibs 2.0, Playo's system across iOS, Android and web

+ 40% less time lost to developer handoff

+ Tokens, components and docs engineers actually opened

Research that changes decisions

I run the research myself and tie every finding to a decision someone shipped.

+ Contextual inquiry with admins and players, at the courts

+ A jobs to be done reframe that redefined the Squads brief

+ Post launch measurement against baselines set before work began

I design for the moment before someone closes the app

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

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 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 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 brings strong product clarity into every design decision. He simplifies complex flows while keeping both user needs and business goals in focus.
