Hi — I’m Vardan Sharma,

Product Designer

I design complex digital products at scale — from multi-platform UX to products I ship myself.

See proof Let’s talk

Design systems, complex product UX, and production apps.

Selected recognition

7+ years shaping product UX at Audials

As Interface / UX Designer I owned end-to-end product design for apps with 10M+ users — from friction mapping and wireframes to design systems and shipping UI across PC, mobile, automotive, and web.

  • Figma at professional depth · components, prototypes, specs

Not just a designer — I build production-ready products

I don’t stop at screens. I take ideas from research and UI through frontend, backend, data, and launch — because the best design is the one that ships.

  1. Product UX

    Flows, wireframes, UI systems, and developer-ready specs rooted in real user jobs.

  2. Product architecture

    Information architecture, stack choices, data models, and what to build first.

  3. Frontend

    Responsive interfaces with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern UI systems.

  4. Backend & data

    APIs, auth, Postgres / Supabase / SQLite — including offline-first desktop apps.

  5. Ship & iterate

    Payments, analytics, hosting, QA, and launch loops that improve conversion after day one.

Offline desktop SaaS

Accounting with local AI

An offline desktop app for German Kleinunternehmer under § 19 UStG. Books stay on local SQLite with zero cloud account, GoBD-immutable invoices, ZUGFeRD PDFs, and an optional on-device AI assistant.

Data privacy

100% offline-private

On-device AI

Local integration

Desktop app

AI-native product

AdventureEngine

AdventureEngine was designed as an AI product from day one — not a chatbot wrapped in a UI. A short scenario wizard feeds a structured clue graph, then multi-step generation turns that graph into a reviewable, print-ready game-master booklet.

My journey through design & build

Explore the milestones and experiences that have shaped my path — year by year, from the past to now.

      How I work

      A user-centered, outcome-driven process — built to solve real problems, not just deliver pretty screens.

      1. 01

        Understand

        Clarify business goals, user jobs, technical constraints, and the metrics that matter.

      2. 02

        Define

        Map the experience: primary actions, edge cases, and a clear success path for the user.

      3. 03

        Structure

        Wireframe flows and information architecture before visual polish locks in the wrong shape.

      4. 04

        Design

        Apply hierarchy, system, and craft so the interface feels intentional and buildable.

      5. 05

        Build & test

        Prototype or implement, then validate with real users or stakeholders — and tighten what fails.

      6. 06

        Ship & iterate

        Launch with instrumentation, support the handoff or production stack, and iterate on outcomes.
