My story continues, on a different page...
Once a keeper of ledgers and audit reports, I now apply the same instincts for spotting inconsistencies and structuring complexity to design. With patient curiosity and human insight, I examine context, unearth the overlooked, and craft resolutions that feel, once revealed, inevitable.
Pray, allow me to introduce myself — I’m Sowmya, a Digital Product Designer.
ABOUT
translating analytical thinking into meaningful digital experiences. With a foundation in finance, a mind for problem-solving and a focus on empathy, I entered this field to craft products that are thoughtful, human-centred and intuitive. More of the story, in my Profile...
Hello! I'm Sowmya, a designer who moved from ledgers to layouts
the Craft
Behind
I entered the design field from the finance and auditing industry (yes, I’m one of ‘those’ unconventional-route designers!), which gave me an unexpected advantage: the ability to work through complexity, question assumptions, and shape design solutions that feel inevitable and elegant.
Hello! I’m Sowmya, the one-human-team behind these designs. I not only craft interfaces, but also spend as much time understanding the decisions, structures, and trade-offs that shape them. My work lives at the intersection of evolving business goals and real user needs, balancing analytical thinking with creative expression, the traits I carry with me from a former career path.

IDEAS
FROM SKETCH TO SHOWCASE
A humble flow diagram, meant only for internal planning, became the star slide in an investor pitch—proof that structure can speak louder than words.
Here lie the quiet triumphs—micro-wins magnified. Each one a testament to the idea that, in design as in deduction, the smallest clues often lead to the most meaningful revelations.

Not every victory demands a parade,
PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
Accessibility audits were never on the scope—yet a single palette tweak made every chart legible at a glance. A silent victory for users once left out in the cold.
UNASKED, YET UNMISSABLE
A humble flow diagram, meant only for internal planning, became the star slide in an investor pitch—proof that structure can speak louder than words.
FROM SKETCH TO SHOWCASE
Generic error messages once left users stranded. A touch of custom copy—laced with a friendly helper avatar—cut drop-offs in half.
