Available Q2 Bangalore, IN Product Designer

Hi 👋
I'm Rhea Nair.

Designing fintech and dev tools at the intersection of clarity and craft. Five years shipping to production.

About

I design the things you don't notice — because they just work.

Product designer focused on fintech and developer tools. Three years at Postman shipping the API builder redesign, two years before that as the founding designer at a YC-backed seed-stage AI company. I care about clarity over cleverness, systems over one-offs, and shipping over shining.
