Senior Product Designer

I design products
that feel obvious
in hindsight.

I’m a senior product designer specializing in healthcare and insurance systems.

I redesign complex workflows — like copayments and claims processing — to reduce operational errors, cut down processing times, and build platforms users can navigate with total clarity and control.

About

I’m Ayushi, a senior product designer who moves between strategy and pixels without losing the thread. I care about the small decisions — copy, spacing, timing — as much as the big ones, because that’s where trust is actually built. Over the last eight years I’ve focused on healthcare and insurance systems, redesigning workflows like copayments and claims processing — replacing fragmented, multi-modal interfaces with a single, information-architected system that brings structure and consistency across the whole product.
