Founders trust her because she learns the science and market before designing, and translates what they build visually for effective communication.
Tejas is the co-founder and product UX lead at What if Design. He leads product and UX for software companies, designing for adoption, retention, and the metrics that drive growth. His work spans battery management systems, fleet platforms, and ESG tools, plus enterprise software for the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia. Founders trust him because he treats every screen as a business decision, not just a design problem.
We begin by understanding the people, decisions, workflows, and constraints behind the platform. We map user journeys, organize complex information, prototype key interactions, and test concepts with relevant stakeholders where possible. This helps the product team identify friction early and create an experience that supports real trading work rather than simply presenting more data.
