Jithin

Hey Mate,
9 years of work deserves a little more screen space. 🙂

For the best experience, open this on a desktop.

I designed products used by 5M+ people, turning complex workflows into measurable business growth.

Product design

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

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.

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.
Gauravjeet SinghCEO @ Playo
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.
Amit RoushanProduct @ Ethos, Co-Founder @ Playo
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.
Darryl RaphaelProduct Designer @ Cult
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.
Dhiraj BhatDeputy Head of Operations @ Playo
Jithin designs with development in mind, making handoffs clear and practical. His attention to interaction details helps us ship polished experiences faster.
