Heni Bhungalia, MS - UX and Information Systems

Product Designer

Contracts
Product Designer | 3+ Years of Experience | Passion for Human-Centered Design Thinking & Knowledge of Front-End Engineering
Little story about me, I originally started off as a Computer Science major during undergrad, but quickly realized that I was fascinated by the 'Why' behind the code I was writing. This led me to explore the field of UX, and after working at a startup as a UX designer, where my app design gained over 100K+ downloads, I fell in love with the art of problem-solving. I am a full-stack product designer who can lead a project from research & design to the prototyping phase to ensure a smooth developer handoff. Accomplishments include boosting volunteer engagement and donations by 25%, improving order interaction rate by 30%, and designing a mobile app that reached over 100K downloads as a sole designer. I have strong leadership qualities such as honesty, integrity, confidence, and commitment, and I am skilled in user-centered design, prototyping, visual design, and user research. I am proficient in tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe Xd, and have language skills in English, Hindi, Spanish, and Gujarati.
