Hi, I’m Gajendra Raikwar — a product designer and strategist. 
I design smart, scalable systems with a focus on UX strategy, design systems, and AI-driven workflows for consumer and enterprise products. 
 
I bring together business goals and user needs through clear interfaces, strong structure, and clean design. I use tools like Figma, Framer, and no-code platforms to deliver end-to-end solutions with clarity and impact.
