About Hitisha Daryani

Hi! I’m Hitisha — a Product Designer with over 4 years of experience creating user-first digital products that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and scalable. Here’s a little about what I bring to the table: 0→1 Product Design — I am passionate about developing solutions from inception. At Rhombus Power, I contributed to expanding a two-person design team within five months and led the development of a comprehensive design system. Cross-functional Collaboration — I communicate effectively with engineers, product managers, and users alike. Whether working with whiteboards or creating Figma specifications, I excel in team-oriented settings. Complex to Clear — I simplify complex workflows involving AI dashboards, public health tools, and learning platforms into intuitive, user-centered experiences. Design with Impact — My design initiatives have increased user engagement by up to 25%, facilitated data comprehension through interactive visualizations, and developed accessible systems in collaboration with organizations such as CDC and Kaiser. Tools I love — Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Framer, Miro, HTML/CSS, and traditional sketching tools. I design with empathy, prototype with curiosity, and always advocate for the user. Currently open to new opportunities in UX/UI & Product Design. Let’s connect—always happy to talk about design, coffee, or your latest idea!
