# Yogesh Kanthale > Lead Product Designer (14 Yrs) | UX Strategy & Psychology | B2B SaaS & Design Systems | Transforming Complex Data into Intuitive UI Location: Pune, Maharashtra, India Profile: https://flows.cv/yogeshkanthale I don’t just design screens; I design decisions. With 14+ years in Product Design, I’ve learned that the best tools aren’t just Figma or Sketch—they are empathy and evidence. Currently pursuing my Masters in Psychology, I bring a unique advantage to design leadership: I understand why users click, scroll, or churn. My Focus: 1. Complex Systems: I thrive in B2B environments (Travel Tech, IoT) where data is heavy, and workflows are intricate. 2. Design Operations: I build 'Atomic Design' systems that help engineering teams move faster. 3. Mentorship: I believe in building design culture, not just shipping tickets. Signature Wins: 1. Project Lead for Vatsalya Vrudhashram (NGO Tech Transformation). 2. 'Team of the Quarter' at Dataction for Mobile 2.0 launch. I am currently available for new opportunities and ready to bring strategic design leadership to your team immediately. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Dataction Analytics Private Limited Jan 2023 – Present | Pune • Designed and delivered user-centric solutions across Reed & Mackay's global travel platform serving 50,000+ users, improving booking completion rates by 28% year-over-year. • Collaborated closely with product managers, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to refine complex travel workflows and identify opportunities for significant usability improvements. • Leveraged Mixpanel analytics and qualitative user insights to identify 15+ critical edge cases, implementing design solutions that reduced user support tickets by 35%. • Spearheaded mobile design system improvements creating 120+ reusable UI components, reducing design-to-development handoff time by 40% and ensuring cross-platform consistency. • Supported product roadmap discovery discussions by providing actionable design recommendations that aligned user needs with strategic business objectives and technical feasibility constraints. ### Lead Product Designer @ Datakrew Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Pune, Maharashtra, India - Ownership - I'm a proactive designer who contributes ideas and solutions to a wide range of business challenges and user needs.
