About Me:
I am Vamsee Krishna, I design products end-to-end not just interfaces, but the systems, decisions, and collaboration models that allow products to scale successfully.
Today, I split my time between hands-on design execution and experience leadership, actively designing workflows, interfaces, and prototypes while guiding product direction, mentoring designers, and aligning teams around clear experience strategies.
I enjoy solving complex product challenges, particularly where workflows, automation, AI interactions, and data-heavy systems require clarity and structure. My approach blends deep design craft with technical awareness, allowing solutions to move smoothly from concept to engineering implementation.
Throughout my career, I’ve partnered closely with product managers, engineers, and executives - contributing to roadmap planning, feature prioritization, KPI definition, and decision-making through research, experimentation, and validated design outcomes.
Career Journey:
Foundation - Knolskape:
I began my career at Knolskape, growing from a graphic designer into a Senior Product Designer leading end-to-end UX for enterprise learning simulations and gamified platforms used globally. This period shaped my multidisciplinary approach, combining interaction design, visual systems, and collaborative product development while mentoring emerging designers.
Product Ownership - OwnersBox:
At OwnersBox, a fast-growing fantasy sports startup, I led the redesign of both mobile and web applications. With no existing design files, I rebuilt the product experience from scratch - designing core workflows, interfaces, and scalable UI patterns while introducing structured design processes that improved collaboration between design and engineering.
Strategy & Scale - OCAS (Ontario Colleges Application Services):
At OCAS, I led UX strategy and experience design for the OntarioColleges.ca redesign. My work spanned discovery research, accessibility implementation, interaction design, A/B validation, and stakeholder alignment. I introduced UX maturity practices and accessibility standards that elevated design’s role in organizational decision-making and improved delivery clarity across teams.
Experience Leadership - Ohmer Canada:
Currently, as Experience Lead at Ohmer Canada Ltd., I lead product design for AI-driven real estate solutions. As the first designer, I helped build the product experience from the ground up - designing dashboards, workflows, and conversational AI interactions while establishing scalable UX foundations, design operations, and collaborative processes supporting rapid product growth.
My role balances strategic leadership with hands-on execution, ensuring design decisions remain grounded in real product outcomes.
How I Work:
believe strong product experiences emerge when design connects strategy, execution, and collaboration.
My approach focuses on:
-
Understanding problems deeply before designing solutions
-
Simplifying complex workflows through interaction design
-
Designing with engineering constraints and scalability in mind
-
Using systems thinking to maintain consistency without limiting creativity
-
Rapid iteration through prototyping, testing, and measurable validation
-
Enabling teams through clear processes, documentation, and mentorship
Mentorship & Community:
Beyond product work, I actively mentor designers worldwide through ADPList, RookieUp, and DesignedOrg, supporting over 200+ designers in career growth, portfolio development, and product thinking. I regularly coach designers, engineers, and product managers on UX decision-making and collaborative design practices.
Growing up across multiple regions in India shaped my empathy-driven leadership style, centered on adaptability, inclusivity, and collaborative problem solving.
Let’s Collaborate:
I enjoy working with teams building ambitious products and solving complex experience challenges — especially where product strategy, design execution, and scalable systems must come together. If you’re building something meaningful, I’d love to connect.
