# Ashwini Sukhdeve > Product Design Leader @ Alation Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ashwinisukhdeve I am a seasoned UX design leader with strong system thinking skills. I lead design teams to deliver simple and usable solutions that drive business value. I’ve led design across early-stage startups and mature organizations, shaping long-term product strategy, mentoring high-performing teams, and collaborating directly with C-suite executives. My work has driven adoption, improved usability, and influenced product roadmaps for years to come. I believe great design is as much about relationships and influence as it is about pixels and flows—and I’m passionate about building teams and processes that unlock both. ## Work Experience ### Senior Manager, Product Design @ Alation Jan 2025 – Present ### Manager, Product Design @ Alation Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 ### Lead Product Designer @ Alation Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 ### Sr. Product Designer @ Alation Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Redwood City, California, United States ### Lead Product Designer @ Totango Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 | Redwood City, California, United States • Responsible for the overall user experience of Totango products • Managed other designers • Worked with exec staff on future product visions • Actively came up with pragmatic solutions that could solve complex problems in a simple way • Led design, onboarded new designers, and collaborated with them to ensure consistent design language across all products. ### Product Designer @ Totango Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area • Conceptualized and delivered on enterprise features that tripled sales. • Delivered on world-class UX in an accelerated, agile environment in collaboration with C-level executives, product managers and remote engineers. • Led design, onboarded new designers and collaborated with them to ensure consistent design language across all products. • Facilitated for product management by defining product requirements and coordinating the product development. ### Senior Interaction Designer @ Canvera Digital Technologies Pvt Ltd Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Bengaluru Area, India - Led design for all the products and elevated their user experience by enhancing the interaction and visual design. - Launched a responsive-web, search directory for photographers which helped in growth of company’s database of photographers by many folds. - Designed Quirl, a photo management app for web, desktop and mobile. - Mentored junior designers, provided them design feedback and guidance. ### Interaction Designer @ Design For Use Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 | Gurgaon, India • Consulted with leading large tech companies in the domain of home entertainment, insurance, sports and e-commerce. • Delivered on complex user flows and designed mobile applications. • Performed usability evaluation and testing. ### Interaction Design Intern @ Logitech Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Chennai Area, India • Conducted user research and market research for trends in home entertainment technologies. • Interviewed target & existing users of Logitech Harmony universal remotes. • Conceptualized touch-gesture based features that were implemented in Logitech’s next Universal Remote Control. ### Assistant Systems Engineer @ Tata Consultancy Services Jan 2008 – Jan 2010 • Awarded “Star of the Month” thrice for showing commitment, innovation, and skill. • Collaborated with a large team of engineers and testers and delivered ahead of schedule. • Trained new hires on the product and tech-stack. ## Education ### Post Graduate Diploma in Design in Interaction Design National Institute of Design ### B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ashwinisukhdeve - Portfolio: https://ashwinisukhdeve.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/ashwinisukhdeve JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ashwinisukhdeve/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
