Companies I've worked with

About me

I’m Sharang Deo, a Lead Experience Designer based in Pune, India.

With over a decade of experience, I lead the design of intelligent, scalable products across AI, SaaS, HRTech, FinTech, and enterprise platforms. I specialize in transforming complex, data-driven systems into clear, high-impact experiences that align user needs with measurable business outcomes.

My work spans product strategy, design systems governance, AI-native workflows, and cross-functional leadership. I’ve led growth-driven initiatives, launched AI-enabled platforms, and built scalable design foundations across multi-product ecosystems. Beyond delivery, I mentor designers, shape design culture, and champion thoughtful integration of AI into modern product development.

I believe great design leadership sits at the intersection of clarity, systems thinking, and human empathy, ensuring innovation remains purposeful, scalable, and deeply user-centered.

Outside of work, I’m driven by curiosity - exploring travel, football, history, technology, and physics.
