About
Behind every great design lies
an even better story
With a diverse background spanning design consultancies, Fortune 500 corporates, tech start-ups, and IT companies, I have cultivated a well-rounded expertise in the field of design. My career began with a service-based startup, where I immersed myself in the world of UI and UX design while honing my client communication skills.
Transitioning to a large service based (Client model outsourcing) offshore company, I assumed the role of a UI/UX Designer, leading a team of 8 individuals and taking charge of end-to-end product delivery. Responsible for conceptualization and execution, I ensured that each project met and exceeded client expectations.
Currently, as a Senior UX Designer at Thales R&D department, I am entrusted with conducting thorough user research, crafting innovative product designs, and performing rigorous user testing to optimize the user experience. Additionally, I actively manage stakeholder relationships, aligning project objectives with business goals.

“I had the pleasure of working closely with Chitresh on our product team, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most reliable and thoughtful designers I’ve worked with. He brings a strong sense of craft, but also knows how to move quickly and make progress even when problems are ambiguous or complex.
What I’ve always appreciated about Chitresh is how he balances exploration with practicality. He’s comfortable diving into user research, generating multiple design directions, and iterating based on feedback, while still keeping business goals and technical reality in mind. His Figma workflow is fast, clear, and collaborative, which made working together both productive and enjoyable. In a domain as challenging as cybersecurity, his ability to simplify complexity was especially valuable.
What I’ve appreciated most is how easy he is to work with. He communicates openly, brings positive energy to discussions, and is always focused on helping the team make better decisions together. He makes collaboration feel smooth, even when the problems are complex.
Any team would be lucky to have him. I strongly recommend Chitresh for senior product design roles, he’ll raise the quality of both the work and the working environment.”
