# Nitin S. > Designing future of Golf: Senior Product Designer @ Blue Tees Golf Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nitins Over the past 7 years in UX/UI and Product Design, I've been blessed to collaborate with incredibly creative teams, diving deep into projects that blend technology with real human needs. My design journey has been fueled by a curiosity about how people interact with digital tools, leading me to work on diverse projects from educational platforms to innovative healthcare devices. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the transformative power of design. Design, for me, is deeply rooted in empathy. It's about truly listening to users, understanding their needs and dreams, and crafting solutions that not only function seamlessly but also bring joy and discovery. Collaboration and mentorship have been key; I've learned so much from working with others, sharing knowledge, and fostering a culture where every voice matters. As I look to the future, I'm excited to tackle new challenges and contribute to meaningful projects alongside passionate individuals. If my approach resonates with you, I'm keen to explore how we can collaborate to make a positive impact through design. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Desiger @ Blue Tees Golf Jan 2024 – Present Designing the future of Golf ### UX/UI Designer & Mentor @ Upright Education Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 • Coached 16+ aspiring designers, by creating an extensive curriculum based on global UX design principles and conducting live workshops, 1:1 feedback, and constructive critique sessions. • Collaborated actively with the curriculum development team to leverage data-driven insights from the learning environment to improve the overall user journey. ### UX/UI Designer & Mentor @ Moment Studio Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 • Led 8+ client-facing projects of creating 0 to 1 websites, mobile apps, and web apps using Microsoft Azure, Power Apps, and Microsoft BI in agile teams of front and back-end engineers, Business Analysts, Scrum masters and Product Managers. • Led workshops around hands-on learning through real-world projects, practical exercises, and design challenges. ### UX Designer , Smart Health @ Venture Lab Niterra Group Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 • Collaborated with cross-functional teams including developers, product managers, venture builders, researchers, and doctors in sprints to understand user needs and align design solutions with business objectives. • Identified and addressed usability issues while participating in Voice-Of-Customer studies resulting in a 22% improvement in product usability. ### Product Designer @ The Marine Mammal Center Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Sausalito, California, United States • Led a team of 4 product designers to design a tablet-based app in conjunction with art installation to improve the visitor tour experience resulting in 31% increase in donations and footfall by 40% to the Non-profit. • Performed in-person user research and spoke to 40+ visitors, observed and interviewed internal staff, and executed usability testing iteratively improving designs based on feedback on our prototype explorations, and generated valuable artifacts to enhance the storytelling and experience of the visitor. ### Rapid Prototyping Studio Manager @ California College of the Arts Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Deputy manager - Product design @ Bajaj Electricals Ltd Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | India • Designed a smart water heater + mobile app, an induction cooktop resulting in a 25% increase in product efficiency. • Collaborated closely with the marketing team to establish a detailed design structure for a future line of products, contributing to a 30% improvement in product consistency. • Managed the requirements of vendors, optimizing cost-efficiency and ensuring seamless production processes. ### Senior Product Designer @ LUMIUM Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India • Led product design initiatives for renowned clients, such as Thermax, Somfy, Milton, Hindware & Hero Electronix. • Spearheaded the establishment of a long-term product and technology vision, facilitating a 35% acceleration in product development cycles. • Fostered close collaboration with Sales teams across India, Japan, and the USA, resulting in successfully developing proposals for project queries. • Streamlined effort sheet management, reducing administrative overhead by 25%. ### Industrial Designer @ EPISODE HOMES Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Noida Worked on defining the future products line-up With help of the artisans, I was able to optimise the assembly of large and small wall-art pieces, lighting and home decor products ### Industrial Designer @ Grokids International Private Limited Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Delhi Area, India I was in contact with clients, understanding their needs and delivering the appropriate solutions, simultaneously working on the company's new products which are to be launched.
