In fintech, without domain knowledge, designers can't curate the right experience

A conversation on scaling design teams, building fintech products, and solving complex user problems at Smallcase, Tickertape and Gojek.

Few beliefs earned through my work

The best design happens across functions

Business, product, design, engineering are different instruments. Alignment around a shared vision is what turns them into an orchestra.

Simplicity is where thinking meets craft

The simplest experiences are often the hardest to create. They require rigorous thinking and exceptional craft. I don't believe in choosing one over the other.

Great design requires both empathy and expertise

User empathy reveals the human side of a problem. Domain expertise reveals the system behind it. Great design requires both.

Great products start with great teams

A demotivated team is often no different from a product nobody uses. Both require understanding the underlying problem before intervention.
