Neeraj Jangir — AI-first Product Designer and Design Lead

I’m Neeraj Jangir — a senior product designer who turns complex financial, AI and enterprise workflows into products people trust. 14+ years designing AI FinTech platforms, AI agents people trust, financial dashboards and design systems at scale — most recently as the sole founding designer at OCTA, taking the product from blank canvas to live enterprise clients across the UAE and GCC in 18 months.

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 for clients in the US, the UAE and four other countries. I’ve built and led design teams, created design systems that engineers build straight from, and been the only designer at a funded AI startup. Today I 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 — regulated finance, AI people have to trust, and complex systems 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 and built a team of 19. Since then I’ve led UX at AR Info Solution, led design across 20+ products at Biz4Group, and — most recently — been the sole founding designer at OCTA, taking two AI FinTech products, OCTA and OCTA Flow, from blank canvas to live UAE and GCC enterprise clients in 18 months.

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 for onsite and remote roles globally, 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.
