Testimonials

Here’s what my clients say

I worked with Varun as a Product designer on a complex cybersecurity product, and he was a real pleasure to collaborate with. He worked very autonomously while collaborating smoothly with product managers, developers, and designers across time zones. His UX skills, fresh perspectives, and constructive feedback consistently helped improve the quality and clarity of our solutions. Varun is reliable, proactive, and easy to work with, and I would gladly collaborate with him again. I highly recommend him to any team looking for a strong UX designer comfortable with complex B2B products.

Clément Jourdain

Sr. Product Designer, Thales

I had the pleasure of working with Varun during his time at Thales. Earlier in his onboarding phase when he joined, I was impressed by his speed and exceptional grasping power, allowing him to start contributing effectively from day one. Varun is a genuine asset and a gem of a colleague. I highly recommend him to any team looking for a strong contributor, a critical thinker, and a proactive challenger, not just someone who takes orders. He will make an immediate and lasting positive impact.
