“Janardhan and his team led the entire research and design effort that took Booster SEO to the next level with a world-class user experience. His deep, insights-driven research empowered us to make confident, strategic product decisions and helped align our teams around a clear new direction. What truly stood out was his seamless collaboration with our developers every query was addressed promptly, every component designed with precision, ensuring an incredibly smooth design-to-development handoff. Navigating Shopify’s extensive 'Built for Shopify' guidelines felt like a daunting challenge, but Janardhan tackled it with such clarity and ease that it was obvious he was the ideal person to lead design for us.”

Justin ButlionCEO, Booster SEO
48 hrsAudit turnaround

“Working with Janardhan was a turning point for our product. His UX audit opened our eyes to gaps we hadn't even noticed, and the way he led the redesign completely exceeded our expectations. Janardhan’s ability to zoom out and see the product from a macro perspective helped us reimagine core experiences and uncover powerful, intuitive solutions. His unique interaction ideas brought clarity and delight to our users and the custom illustrations he crafted added that final human touch that truly wowed us. His vision, depth, and dedication made it clear: there was no better person to lead our product transformation.”

Ruslan LeteyskiFounder CEO, Zipchat

“Our app needed a complete UX overhaul and fast. We weren’t using Shopify’s Polaris components and lacked a cohesive design direction. Janardhan stepped in, deconstructed our entire app, and rebuilt it with remarkable speed and precision. His execution was not only fast but thoughtful bringing clarity to our architecture and helping us align perfectly with the Built for Shopify guidelines. Beyond just UX, his visual craftsmanship gave the app a distinct identity that truly set it apart. Janardhan didn’t just meet the brief he elevated it. A fantastic partner to work with.”

His ability to present a wide range of creative solutions to complex problems is consistently refreshing and has given us a real edge in meeting even the tightest deadlines. What truly sets him apart is his cross-functional impact: whether it's sales, marketing, or product, Janardhan brings clarity, speed, and smart problem-solving every time. Most of all, he's incredibly reliable always showing up with a 'let’s get it done' mindset, no matter how big or messy the challenge. A total gem to work with and someone we wholeheartedly recommend.”

Alexander LazoffCRO, Rivo

“Janardhan has an incredible ability to quickly grasp what we’re aiming for even with limited input and translate it into clear, confident design direction. His insights and experience gave us the trust to fully embrace the new path he shaped for us. What stood out even more was his ability to seamlessly switch contexts across multiple apps, distilling scattered information into thoughtful, cohesive user experiences. He’s not only a talented designer, but also highly dependable and collaborative which is exactly why we entrusted him to lead design across our entire product suite.”

Ketul PatelFounder CEO, Multi-location inventory

“Working with Janardhan over the past three years has been nothing short of transformative. He not only designed standout products but also trained our in-house team, elevating their skills and setting a new standard for quality. His leadership and collaborative approach redefined how we communicate and execute projects, boosting efficiency and enhancing outcomes across the board.”
