# Kiran Gunasekaran > Product Designer | Human Centered Design & AI Driven Workflows | M.S. Human Computer Interaction @RIT Location: Fremont, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kirangunasekaran I am a Product Designer passionate about crafting human centered, mobile first experiences powered by emerging AI technologies. My process combines research, experimentation, and storytelling to translate complex ideas into intuitive digital products that drive real business impact. At Nestingale, a fast moving startup in San Jose, I led end to end redesigns of AI integrated and 3D based platforms across web and mobile. I leveraged AI assisted research and generative tools to accelerate prototyping, improve design precision, and uncover insights that informed product strategy. Currently pursuing my M.S. in Human Computer Interaction at Rochester Institute of Technology, I focus on blending design thinking, data driven research, and human AI collaboration. My goal is to create products that feel effortless, purposeful, and emotionally resonant, where every design decision bridges user needs with measurable outcomes. I am open to new opportunities where I can contribute to product teams focused on innovation, emerging technologies, and AI powered user experiences that drive both user satisfaction and business growth. ## Work Experience ### Freelance Product & Visual Designer @ Self Employed Jan 2022 – Present | Fremont, California, United States - Designed innovative, user-centered web and mobile applications for diverse clients, conducting user research and creating personas, user flows, and journey maps. - Developed wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma, Sketch, and InVision, ensuring optimal user experiences across devices and screen sizes. - Collaborated closely with developers and maintained open communication with clients, consistently meeting project deadlines and achieving high levels of client satisfaction. - Stayed up-to-date with industry trends and best practices through continuous professional development and networking. ### Product Designer @ Nestingale Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Jose, California, United States - Utilized AI tools for comprehensive user research, generating user interview questions, analyzing feedback, and improving insight accuracy. - Improved new user sign up flow with AI driven custom image generation, increased customer satisfaction by 25%. - Led redesign of the main 3D scanner app using competitive analysis and user testing to enhance usability. - Overhauled Builder app for Web, and Mobile interfaces, driving a 30% increase in user engagement and retention. ### UI Design Intern @ LoadTap Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Redwood City, California, United States - Designed innovative, user-centered web and mobile applications for diverse clients, conducting user research and creating personas, user flows, and journey maps. - Developed wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma, Sketch, and InVision, ensuring optimal user experiences across devices and screen sizes. - Collaborated closely with developers and maintained open communication with clients, consistently meeting project deadlines and achieving high levels of client satisfaction. - Stayed up-to-date with industry trends and best practices through continuous professional development and networking. ### Salesforce Administrator @ Art of Living Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Mountain House CA - Helped Building a Training course registration Application on Salesforce Lightning. -Designed data model, UI screens for the volunteer staff to enroll students in the training course. -Created Lighting flows and Apex Triggers to capture registration and email communication once the students registered for the course -Generated student surveys to capture the training feedback from students -Created simple Lightning Web components to display customer location map & Alert messages on the lightning pages -Built reports and dashboards for training coordinators to monitor the training progress and effectiveness of the training. -Migrated data from the art of living legacy database to salesforce using data loader AppExchange product. -Helped create change sets to deploy to test environments and engaged in creating training documentation for the business team. -Managed users and user profiles to maintain application security for the production support team. ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Human Computer Interaction Rochester Institute of Technology ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science University of California, Santa Cruz ### Certification Training in Administrative Essentials for New Admins in Lightning Experience Salesforce Trailhead Academy, CA ### Certification Training in Trailhead Virtual Bootcamp for Platform Developer I Salesforce Trailhead Academy, CA ### Certification Training in Declarative Development for Platform App Builders Salesforce Trailhead Academy, CA ### Administer And Maintain Service Cloud Trailhead by Salesforce ### Certification Trraining in Trailhead Virtual Bootcamp for Experience Cloud Salesforce Trailhead Academy, CA ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kiran-gunasekaran - Portfolio: https://kirangunasekaran.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/kirangunasekaran JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kirangunasekaran/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-13
