Work style
Agile Team Philosophy
Involve users early and often. Learn from them and iterate.
01
Establish empathy together as a team
It’s important to understand your users together as a team. Doing so eventually weaves benefit into the product at every level. By increasing your team’s exposure to users, you will increase the user’s satisfaction of the product.
02
Collectively define and agree on problems
Take time to understand and clearly define your user’s problems. Feeding the team solutions will only lead to demoralisation; people like being empowered and to have a chance to be creative. Let the team stretch their skills, and give them time to truly understand the problem.
03
Group ideation
Good ideas can come from anyone. Waiting for one member of the team to create the best idea will take time, and will be biassed towards their experience. It doesn’t have to take long, there are exercises designed to generate lots of ideas quickly.
04
Prototype and test with real users
Fake it until you can make it. Spend the minimum amount of time to create the closest to the real thing. You’re looking for feedback on the idea, not whether your design looks finished. Test with real representative users.
05
Iterate, iterate and iterate
It isn’t enough to run through a design process once. Learn from your users, learn from your team, and iterate. Your process will mature and you’ll be able to run through it easier and faster on each pass. Being agile is to be set up to react to new information fast.
Principles
Keep Scrolling
Know your users - Start with user needs. Treat second-hand information about users with caution. Focus on user outcomes and design with data.
Clarity - Create structure and hierarchy. Give users responses to the actions they take. Make decisions easy by avoiding paradox of choice.
Consistency - Avoid uniformity, but be consistent. Re-use well-tested design patterns. Use ubiquitous language to create familiarity.
Effectiveness - Your design should work everywhere; responsive is not only screen size. Leverage technology to help users.
Aesthetics - Accessibility is not a bolt-on feature. First impressions do matter. Take the extra time to delight your users.
What others say
I've had the pleasure of working closely with Aswin at Talview, and I can confidently say he's one of the most thoughtful and driven designers I’ve worked with.
Aswin stands out for his ability to ask the right questions. He doesn’t just take briefs at face value, but probes deeper to truly understand the problem we’re solving. His research is always thorough, and he regularly brings fresh ideas and perspectives to the discussions.
What I appreciate most is his attention to detail and the outstanding quality he brings to every screen, interaction, and flow. He’s also incredibly collaborative, always open to feedback, and focused on what’s best for the user.
Aswin is a great asset to any team, and I’m excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make in his design journey!

Senior PM, Talview
Aswin has a sharp eye for detail and knows how to craft clean, polished interfaces that just feel right. Beyond the visual finesse, he brings thoughtful touches that elevate the experience, whether it’s a playful illustration or a subtle interaction. I’ve seen him take ownership of complex design system work, untangle messy problems, and push for better clarity and consistency. Watching him grow into a more confident, thoughtful designer has been genuinely rewarding.

"Aswin was super helpful when I was stuck with my designs. He quickly understood what was missing and helped me clean things up. Together, we built a design system that made everything more clear and consistent. Really easy to work with and knows his stuff. Thanks again, Aswin!"

Visar Uka
Designer in Germany
"Aswin was instrumental in designing our app from the ground up, the same app that went on to cross 100,000+ downloads on app store. He just got what we needed and brought it to life with clean, intuitive design. Easy to work with, fast, and always thinking one step ahead. I’d absolutely work with him again."
