Designing clarity into
complex systems.
UX Lead, 11+ years across banking, enterprise software and consumer tech. I do the research and then design the screens that get built from it.
Faraz Khan
Senior UX Lead
Pune, Maharashtra · India
Hey there. I'm a UX Lead with 11+ years in the messy end of product design: enterprise dashboards, lending flows, analytics tools, the systems most people find intimidating. I like taking something dense and complicated and making it feel obvious. I sit right between design, data, and engineering, which is usually where the interesting problems hide.
I've done this for first-time founders and for some of the bigger names in banking and enterprise software. I stay in the file doing the actual pixels, not just the slides, and I care as much about whether a thing ships as whether it looks good. Right now I'm after a senior product or UX role, in India, the Middle East, or fully remote.

Where I've worked.
Senior UX Lead
Persistent Systems
Pune, India
Feb 2023 - Present
- I lead UX on enterprise platforms from the first wireframes through to the final Figma prototypes. Most of the work goes into navigation that makes sense and results we can measure.
- I build and look after the design systems, so the same components work on web, mobile and the enterprise products.
- Design sits inside the sprint rather than ahead of it, so product, engineering and the business stay on the same page.

Dec 2017 - Dec 2022
- I designed dashboards that took large, messy datasets and made them readable enough for clients to make decisions from.
- I ran usability audits to find where people were getting stuck, then fixed those parts.
