LIKHITH — Visual Designer

SUMMARY

Product Designer with 5+ years of experience: nearly 4 years at Scaler (Dec 2022 to present, now Product Designer 2) and almost 2 years before that as the first designer at AthrV-Ed.
Designs internal sales tools, learner-facing edtech products and growth pages with engineers, PMs, and sales and ops teams.
Prototypes and ships products in code using Claude Code, Next.js and React.

Scaler, Bengaluru

Designed and built n8n Judge, a simulator that teaches n8n workflow automation to AI and data science learners.
Owned the concept, product design and engineering, and shipped the production build in one week of a two-week project.
809 attempts by 340 learners across six challenges, rated 4.55 out of 5 across 578 ratings, with 90% at four or five stars. 73.2% of learners who started an attempt finished it.
Kept scoring on fixed rules, with Claude explaining each result but never setting it. A wrong step opens a prompt that diagnoses the misunderstanding instead of revealing the answer.

Scaler, Bengaluru

One of two designers on Scaler's in-house sales CRM, which replaced a vendor billing about ₹5 crore a year.
Split the CRM modules with the lead designer and rebuilt core workflows around the sales team's existing routines.
Removed the vendor's cap of 20 saved filters, added filter folders, and introduced dark mode after users reported eye strain.
Migration finished in December 2024, and CRM-wide CSAT rose from 7.5 to 8.2 across 200 respondents.
Sole designer on the Lead Details redesign, the page the sales team opens before every call. Interviewed 15 AVPs and sales managers and 10 associates.
Delivered it from discovery to production in one month and rolled it out to every business development associate by March 2025.
Regrouped lead activity into Sales, Marketing and Product, surfaced data-validated Hot Activities, and broke the AI call output into a summary, objections, a call score and next steps.
Proposed and co-developed a self-serve certificate tool, cutting turnaround from 1–2 days to about 5 minutes and saving 2–3 hours of design time a week.
Replaced a static-sheet QR code that anyone could fake with a hashed one that verifies each certificate on scaler.com.

Scaler, Bengaluru

Redesigned how learners get matched with and choose a mentor, from research to handoff, on desktop and mobile web.
Mentor-selection support tickets fell from 234 in May 2023 to 21 by July, and about 90% of mentees chose a mentor instead of being assigned one by ops.

AthrV-Ed, Udupi

Built a content delivery platform used by 100+ students, run by 5 content moderators and a super admin.
Created and handed off a project hub the company ran on, and launched its landing pages in Webflow.
