I studied Computer Science (yes, the DBMS lectures were real), but somewhere between traversing trees and relational schemas, I realised my true calling wasn’t in writing algorithms — it was in untangling human problems.

Today, I lead design with a balance of strategic thinking, storytelling, and systems-level clarity — driven by a strong belief that good design should feel as intentional as a Bhansali frame: composed, immersive, and emotionally resonant.

The Calm in Chaos
"I’ve lost count of how many high-stakes projects I’ve tagged Yaman on, from AI tools for CS ops to critical payment and legal flows. He’s the calm in chaos, bringing speed, structure, and stellar design every time. Easily the most dependable and thoughtful Lead Designer I’ve worked with.
What sets Yaman apart is his ability to collaborate deeply with PMs and engineers- thinking not just in terms of UI, but in terms of product and systems."
Sujoy Datta
Product Manager, Hike
Brilliant Designer. Reliable Collaborator. Natural Leader.
"Having worked with Yaman for over six years, I can gladly say he’s one of the most talented product designers I’ve had the chance to collaborate with. His creativity, attention to detail, and structured approach to problem-solving consistently lead to designs that are both beautiful and highly functional — striking the perfect balance between innovation and usability. He’s also a fantastic collaborator—humble, reliable, and always open to feedback. His ability to ask the right questions and push for better outcomes makes a real difference.
With a strong work ethic and calm confidence, Yaman is not just a design leader but a genuinely positive force on any team."
Dhairya Gandhi

His quiet leadership, deep thinking, and commitment to excellence have made a lasting impact on the team and the culture."
Lee Keshav

A Developer’s Ideal Design Partner
"Yaman is one of the rare designers who truly understands engineering pain points.
He’s calm, empathetic, and always ready to collaborate closely with the tech team. Whether it’s simplifying handoffs, iterating quickly, or just being available to discuss edge cases—he ensures design never becomes a bottleneck. Working with Yaman feels less like cross-functional work and more like genuine partnership. A huge thank you for making things easier, always."
Rashmi Dang

On top of his impressive skills, Yaman is a fantastic colleague – always positive, helpful, and a genuine team player.Working alongside Yaman has been a privilege. He's not only a highly skilled and reliable lead designer who consistently delivers quality results, but he's also a gem of a person.
