About Surya Ravindran Pillai
Director - Design and User Experience at Semly Pro
Hi, I am Surya and I have 13+ years of experience in Product Design, of which 8 years have also been as a Co-founder of a Design and Digital Marketing consultancy.
Over the span of my career, I have lead and executed end-to-end Product and UX Design projects for a variety of industries, both large scale as well as Startups - E-commerce, Government Agencies, Sustainability, Healthcare, IOT, E-learning, etc.
I have a keen inclination towards developing ideas into sustainable working products with that lovable quality through storytelling.
When I am not conceptualising products, you will find me evaluating every Mobile App or Website I come across or penning my thoughts and learnings on Linkedin and Medium. I am also a Contributing Author at UX Collective.
Currently, along with my professional responsibilities, I also decided to deep dive into Generative AI and its application in UX. For this, I am now also pursuing a Master's degree in Digital Design from Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.
Here is how, I can help you as someone who has been on both sides of a job interview table: - Portfolio reviews Resume reviews Planning and charting out a career from a Junior Designer to a Design Manager. End-to-end product design UX for an agile framework like scrum Transitioning into freelancing or entrepreneurship Designing for Sustainability
