What I’m known for

Complex system simplification

I turn dense, multi-step workflows and data-heavy systems into clear, predictable experiences users can trust.

Research-informed decision making

I use research, constraints, and real-world signals to shape direction, not just validate solutions.

End-to-end ownership

I carry problems from early framing through production UI, working closely with product and engineering to ship what actually works.

My Experience

Worked across early-stage startups and large enterprise environments, partnering with product managers, engineers, researchers, and stakeholders to ship production-ready systems.

Have a look at what my managers, clients and team-mates have to say about my work.

Lisa Schiavello
Executive Creative Director at 1920
"What stands out is his ability to take a project and run with it, only to complete it with an open warmth and show-stopping brilliance. He delivers his work with phenomenal care and detail, and provides an unmatched originality that he alone exudes. He’s skillful, willing to venture into new creative territories, goes beyond what is expected and asked for, and is an absolute pleasure to solution with — he made the job a lot of fun for me and for his teammates."
Matt Woolhouse
Creative Director/Principal at Wongdoody
Pavan was instrumental to the work we created for Vanguard. We worked through some very detailed and rigorous work creating a message center, which had more expensive features than Gmail or Outlook. Pavan was organized and detail-oriented, always had multiple concepts and ideas to bring to the table, and his general relaxed demeanor and level of professionalism was welcome by internal team and clients. I look forward to working with Pavan in the future. We're lucky to have him.
Mahalia Yowell

"I had the pleasure of working with Pavan on a few logo concepts for side projects of mine. He was timely, responsive, and organized. Based on the couple of weeks of working together, I would consider him again for a design need."
Lisa Schiavello
Executive Creative Director at 1920
"I have known Mr. Suresh for just under two years. In that time, I was his manager on a digital experience team serving a financial services client at Infosys. Mr. Suresh was based in India and me in the City of Philadelphia. As his manager and leader in two very different timezones, I have only known Mr. Suresh to be present, passionate, and professional. He’s knowledgeable, participatory, empathetic, strategic, and highly creative. He’s a team player, a flexible collaborator, a thoughtful strategist, and a really likable guy."
Layla Mitiche
Web Designer at Peak Periodontal

Pavan's collaborative nature, excellent communication skills, and deep expertise in the field made him an invaluable asset to our team. His contributions played a vital role in the project's success. I highly recommend Pavan for any future UX endeavors and definitely look forward to working with him in the future!"

He brings strong empathy, out-of-the-box thinking, and excellent collaboration skills—consistently aligning stakeholders, developers, and designers around a shared vision. His clear communication and advocacy for users make him a standout partner in any project.
Pavan’s dedication to growth and learning is remarkable. He stays current with industry trends, embraces feedback, and continually refines his craft. A versatile, driven, and collaborative designer, Pavan always delivers exceptional results."
