Hey, I am Mehul Jatiya

I'm a product designer and design manager who thrives in messy, high-stakes problem spaces. I've led design at Cashfree Payments - managing a team of designers, building systems from scratch, and owning decisions that ship to millions of users. I bring clarity where things are fuzzy, set direction when opinions are loud, and turn half-formed ideas into systems that actually hold up.

HOW I OPERATE AS A DESIGNER

  • Managing designers means my job is to make the team better, not just the work. I invest in clear processes, honest feedback, and giving ownership early because designer who's growing is a designer who stays.

  • I don’t wait for clarity, I create it. Ambiguity is part of the job, and I’d rather ask uncomfortable questions early than ship something wrong.

  • Design, for me, is about removing ambiguity. If something needs a long explanation, it’s already broken.

  • I take a clear position and expect my team to do the same. Strong opinions matter, but the moment better reasoning shows up, we move on without ego.

  • I think in systems, not screens. Flows, rules, and edge cases matter more to me than one-off visuals that won’t survive scale.

  • I design with business reality in mind. Good UX should reduce risk, save time, and move real metrics, not just look good in a deck.
