I'm Deepanraj Makesh

I’m a Senior UX Designer with 7+ years of experience in the software industry, specializing in creating intuitive, user-centric digital experiences for web and mobile applications. Currently working at HCL Technologies, I bring end-to-end expertise in UX strategy, user research, information architecture, user flows, journey mapping, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and high-fidelity UI design. I have successfully contributed to multiple projects across domains including banking, insurance, healthcare, IoT, telecommunications, and aerospace.

I’m proficient in Figma, Adobe XD, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator, with experience collaborating closely with stakeholders, Product Owners, and development teams throughout the design lifecycle. My foundational knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, along with familiarity with Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS, helps me understand technical constraints and facilitate smoother design-to-development handoffs.

Beyond design and technology, I enjoy watching cricket and movies. I’m a big fan of Hitman Rohit Sharma, and these interests help me unwind and return to my work with a fresh perspective. I believe great design goes beyond aesthetics—it solves real problems, simplifies complex workflows, and creates meaningful experiences for people.
