Freelance product designer · Open for new projects

The product designer your startup needs, without the full-time hire

You have the idea, the users and a deadline. I turn that into clear flows, polished UI and, when you need it, a live MVP, from the first call to launch day.

Live and shipped

Not just mockups. These are live.

Websites and apps I've designed for real companies, some built in Framer too. Click through, they're all live.

Products

Things I've built myself

My own products, designed and built from idea to live link.

A designer who thinks like a founder

I'm Arpit. I co-founded ScanServe, so I know what it's like to have a small team, a tight runway and too many priorities. I design with that in mind: the fewest screens that get users to value, and files your developers can build from without guessing.

I've designed AI hiring tools at Skillbrew.AI, a 3D fashion marketplace at MetaDrob and products at Friday Tech Labs.

  • Fast without being sloppy. First versions in days, not months.
  • One person, idea to launch. Research, UX, UI and a live build if you need it.
  • Honest feedback. Weekly updates, and I'll tell you when an idea won't work.
Services

What I can do for your startup

Pre-launch or already growing, I pick up where your product needs design most.

MVP and SaaS product design

Turn your idea or rough prototype into flows and screens users understand on day one.

Websites and landing pages

A site that explains what you do in five seconds, so early users and investors sign up.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps with short onboarding and the details that bring people back.

Design to live build

No developer yet? I can ship the design as a working site or MVP so you can test with real users.

FAQ

Questions founders usually ask

I only have an idea. Is that too early?

Not at all, it's a great time to start. We'll shape the idea into the smallest product worth testing before anyone writes code.

Can you work with my developers?

Yes. I hand off organised Figma files with every state and spec, join your standups if useful, and review the build before it ships.

We don't have a developer yet. Can you build it?

For websites and early MVPs, yes. I build with modern no-code and AI tools so you can launch and test with real users quickly.

How soon can you start?

Usually within a week. I take on a few projects at a time so each one gets proper attention.

Who owns the designs?

You do. Once the project is paid, every file, design and line of code is yours.

Do you work with founders outside India?

Yes. I work remotely and overlap with US, UK and EU hours for calls.

Have a product that needs a designer?
