UX Strategist & Design Systems · Mumbai, India

Clarity from
complexity.

Twelve years turning regulated, data-heavy products into clear, consistent experiences — through UX strategy, deep research, and the design systems behind them.

Good design moves numbers, not just pixels. A few results I'm proud of.

How I work

A structured path from messy problem to shipped, measured outcome.

01

Understand

Get deep on the business, the constraints and the people using the productbefore a single screen.

02

Research

Map journeys, audit against heuristics, benchmark the best comparable products to find where it breaks.

03

Define & prototype

Shape flows, IA, components and interactions; prototype to align stakeholders early and de-risk before build.

04

Ship & measure

Partner with engineering to deliver, instrument the result, and keep improving from real usage.

About

I'm drawn to the parts of products that feel overwhelming. Complex workflows, dense interfaces, products serving too many audiences at once. My job is to make them clear enough that no one notices the complexity.

Over twelve years I've worked across banking, FMCG, analytics and consumer products, often as the bridge between product, UX and engineering. I lead by doing: research, UX strategy, design systems, and partnering with engineering to ship them.

I care most about clear data-heavy interfaces, accessible experiences, and decisions backed by evidence rather than opinion.

Off-screen: baking, painting, and a lot of good coffee.

Recommendations

From people who've led and partnered with Malvika on real projects.

Malvika took a messy, fast-moving brief and turned it into a clear, considered experience without us ever having to chase her. She’s rare , properly strategic about UX, yet hands-on enough to build it herself. I’d bring her onto any project in a heartbeat.
AA Aastha Singla AgarwalDirector, Goldmine Advertising · Freelance collaborator
I’ve worked with Malvika for years , first as her manager at Jack in the Box, and across many projects since. Her instinct for making complex things simple has only sharpened, and she leads quietly by doing, lifting the standard of everyone around her. She’s one of the most dependable people I’ve worked with; any team would be lucky to have her.
