About

I’m Bhavya, a product designer in Ottawa.

I prototype with AI, in real code, on software where a mistake costs money or trust.

Seven years in product and web design. I trained as a computer engineer.

Most recently at Pixel One, a product studio, on B2B SaaS and AI products for Provision, Evera, Sunflower and Solea.

Before that, Jarvis: a UK workplace-pension platform, where compliance work had to be right the first time.

How I work

Research first

Discovery, user interviews, UX audits and usability tests come before the first screen. User-centred, from the first sketch.

Prototypes in code

I prototype in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React; shaders, WebGL and Three.js when an idea needs motion or depth; SwiftUI for native screens. I often build with Claude Code. On Evera, the developer built straight from my prototypes.

Built with engineers

I work end to end, from the first user flow to the shipped design, close to product managers and engineers, designing with tokens, components and every real state.

The AI’s review step

When AI drafts the work, I design the review: the evidence, the confidence, and a quick way to fix it.

Kind words

What sets her apart is her ability to dig deep into the why behind every design decision, taking the time to truly understand customer behavior and what users need from each experience.
