Neeraj Jangir — AI-first Product Designer and Design Lead

I’m Neeraj Jangir — a senior product designer who turns complex workflows into products people trust. 14+ years and 80+ products across 20+ domains, designing AI platforms and agents, FinTech and finance tools, healthcare and HR products, booking and IoT apps — freelancing now, and available worldwide for full-time roles: remote, onsite or relocation.

Profile

I design for the moment a complex system has to make sense to a busy person: a finance team closing the books, an HR manager finding the right screen, anyone deciding whether to trust what an AI just did.

Across 14 years I’ve shipped 80+ products in 20+ domains — AI, FinTech, healthcare, HR, education, IoT, booking and more — for clients in six countries. I’ve led and mentored 29 people, created design systems that engineers build straight from, and been a founding designer three times. Today I freelance and prototype with Claude and Cursor, so ideas become testable interfaces in hours, not weeks, and engineering builds what’s already been proven.

Portrait of Neeraj Jangir
Neeraj JangirSenior Product Designer

About me

I design products where the stakes are real — money people can’t get wrong, AI people have to trust, and everyday tools that need to feel effortless.

I started in 2012 as a founding team member at KC Team Technologies, where I grew into Lead Product Designer, built a team of 19 and designed 50+ products for schools, healthcare, gaming and more. I then set up the UX practice at AR Info Solution, led design across 20+ products in more than a dozen domains at Biz4Group, and was the sole founding designer at OCTA, an AI FinTech in Abu Dhabi. Since May 2026 I’ve been freelancing for AI SaaS, FinTech and enterprise teams around the world.

I work AI-first. Claude and ChatGPT are my daily research and writing partners, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and v0 turn ideas into working prototypes, and the Figma MCP connects design straight to code. That frees my time for what matters most — understanding people and making the hard calls.

I’m available immediately, worldwide: freelance or full-time, remote or onsite, and happy to relocate for the right team.

Outcomes over outputs

Every screen earns its place with a metric it moves.

Systems, then screens

Tokens and components first, so teams scale without drift.

AI as an amplifier

Machines draft, I decide. Speed without losing judgement.

Grow the people

The best thing I ship is a designer who outgrows me.
