About me.
I build intuitive digital products that bring clarity to complex systems.
I am Ajinkya Dhabarde, a Product Designer based in India. My work covers user research, complex information architecture, multi role B2B platforms, and scalable design systems.
At Metaphors Advertising, I led the user experience for a multi role event application at Boiler World Expo. We replaced manual phone call registration with a self service digital flow, reducing exhibitor onboarding time by 60% across two major expo cycles.
My background blends spatial thinking and interaction design. I completed my Master of Design in Visual and Interaction Design at SPA Bhopal, building on a Bachelor of Architecture from VNIT Nagpur. This background gives me a distinct perspective on layout grids, wayfinding, and digital structure.
I love incorporating modern tools into my workflow, using Figma for rapid interactive prototypes and AI tools to bridge the gap between design concepts and production code.
