About

Hi, I'm Anudeep. I design products — then ship them.

I'm an AI Product Designer in Hyderabad, India. I love the moment a messy, frustrating flow turns into something that just feels obvious — and I don't stop at the Figma file. I build the working product in code too, and ship it side by side with engineering.

My story

I didn't start in design. I'm an Electronics & Communication engineer by degree — but somewhere along the way I realised I cared far more about how things feel to use than how they're wired.

So I went deep. An apprenticeship at GrowthSchool put me under the mentorship of Anudeep Ayyagaari, a UX Designer at Amazon, where I learned the full craft — research, systems, prototyping, handoff — and earned the Dependable Award.

Then AI changed everything. At PIPRA Solutions I pioneered an AI-led design-and-build workflow: I take a problem to a working product in code, so engineering builds on something real instead of a static mockup. Over the past 2 years I've delivered 10+ production apps across fintech, government, logistics, SaaS and EdTech, earning the company its AI Excellence Award.

That work started finding me. A senior US designer discovered my portfolio and contracted me to build government platforms; my freelance income now exceeds my salary — all from portfolio discovery, never cold outreach. Next up: my own AI-native EdTech platform, prototype complete and CEO-backed.

How I think

Frame the problem. Design the system. Ship the code.

01

Frame the real problem

Research and get to the actual user and business problem before touching pixels.

02

Design the system

Information architecture, flows, and a design system — coherent and reusable.

03

Prototype fast with AI

Use an AI-led workflow to move from idea to high-fidelity, testable prototype in hours.

04

Build it, ship it with engineering

Working front-end code that engineering can build on, reviewed with product leadership before it ships.
