4 years integrating design into analytics organizations — translating stakeholder complexity into clear, usable products for business users.
Designed the search, discovery, and access experience for 230+ datasets across 6 business functions.
Reduced 4 dashboards to 1 by mapping the real decision-making flow behind the data.
Built the component library, documentation, and governance model used across 20+ client products.
I helped embed design as a core problem-solving discipline within a data science–led organization. Beyond product delivery, I mentored designers, led training initiatives, and built a high-performing design team serving large enterprise clients.
I collaborated with AfrECC to design a website that communicates critical information about esophageal cancer, supports early awareness, and enables donor engagement — translating a complex public-health mission into a clear digital experience.
As an Experience Design Consultant through Bentley's E-Hub, I partnered with RightRun over 12 months to refine their product vision and experience — helping them secure $14,000 in seed funding across three stages.
"Pooja stood out for her ability to deeply understand business needs, data, and decision-making contexts, and translate them into impactful product experiences. She was among the earliest designers onboarded due to her strong problem-solving mindset and data background, and quickly grew into one of the strongest product designers on the team."
"Pooja came into the role eager to learn and consistently sought out opportunities to expand her skill set. She asked thoughtful questions, incorporated feedback with impressive speed, and demonstrated genuine curiosity about human-centered design. Her attention to detail was evident in everything she produced."
"Pooja has been an exemplary individual who has this unique eye for design and user centric product development. Her ability to get to the desired solution by asking the right questions is a skill that is generally missing in the common world."
I use AI tools throughout my design process — not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster, prototype earlier, and think more clearly. Here's how they show up at each stage.
