UI/UX Designer · India

I design the screens people actually work in.

Hi, I'm Nibin. Eighteen years of dashboards, SaaS tools and websites. I design the screens and then build the front end myself, so what ships is what you signed off on.

02 — Selected work

Five projects,
told properly.

All five went through my studio, UXSparrow. I led the design on every one and wrote most of the front-end code. The full write-ups are over there.

01 Finance · Web platform

LongBridge Associates

A multi-family office with an old site and five services that all sounded the same. I reorganised it so someone lands on the service they actually need in one click, and redid the look so the firm reads as trustworthy rather than just expensive.

02 Software · SaaS product

Formlark

An AI survey builder with two very different users. The person writing the survey needs the generated draft to feel like their own work. The person answering it decides in about three seconds whether to bother. I designed both sides as one product rather than two.

03 Commerce · B2B wholesale

Talabatty

Wholesale grocery ordering for businesses in Kuwait. The buyer is a restaurant with a credit limit and a standing weekly order, not someone browsing for fun. So the whole thing is built around reordering, case quantities and account terms instead of a normal shop checkout.

04 Agriculture · eCommerce

Vogler Agrar

A farm supply shop where one customer keeps a single rabbit and the next runs a stable, and every product looks like the same brown sack in a photo. Most of the work went into the filters and the product page, so quantity, animal and feed type could do the job the pictures couldn't.

05 Education · Civil services coaching

Photon IAS Academy

A civil services academy in a market where every competitor promises exactly the same thing. Instead of another wall of topper photos, the site leads with this year's batches, dates and results, so a candidate can work out in seconds whether it is for them.

There is older work too — telematics dashboards, restaurant ordering, a cybersecurity site. Happy to walk you through any of it.

03 — About

Eighteen years
of the same job.

Getting software out of the user's way. That is honestly the whole thing.

01

Where I started

I started out as a web designer in 2008 and never really moved away from the interface. Most of those years went into products rather than brochure sites: fleet telematics, ordering platforms, admin panels. The kind of screens people stare at for eight hours a day and quietly resent.

02

How I think about it

The visuals are the easy part. The real work is deciding what belongs on a screen, what can wait for the next one, and what the person is actually trying to get done. I do the research, the flows and the visual system, then build the front end myself. Writing the code is what keeps me honest about what is actually buildable.

03

What I run now

In 2025 I started UXSparrow, a small studio that does this for clients. This site is the personal side of it — my own track record, and the quickest way to reach me without going through anyone else.

04

What I am like to work with

Straight answers, no jargon, and I will tell you when something you have asked for is a bad idea. You end up with the working files, the component library and enough documentation that you are not tied to me afterwards.

04 — What I do

Design, and
then the build.

Most projects need three or four of these, not all ten. Tell me what you are trying to do and I will say which ones actually matter.

01

UI/UX Design

Research, flows, wireframes, then the interface itself.

02

SaaS & Dashboards

Dense, data-heavy screens that stay readable when the data gets messy.

03

Website Design

Marketing sites built to get found and to actually convert.

04

Web Development

React, Next.js, Tailwind, Angular, plain HTML and CSS. The design, actually shipped.

05

Mobile App Design

iOS and Android screens, prototyped properly before anyone builds them.

06

Design Systems

Components, tokens and rules your team can keep using after I have gone.

07

eCommerce Design

Catalogue, search and checkout — for shoppers and for trade buyers.

08

WordPress

Custom themes, Elementor and WooCommerce. Still the right answer more often than people admit.

09

Cloud & Deployment

AWS hosting, CI, and getting the thing live without a fuss.

10

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 review, with the fixes designed in rather than bolted on afterwards. Keyboard paths, contrast, focus order and screen-reader semantics, sorted while the design is still on the board.

05 — How it runs

Five stages.
No mystery.

You see something real at the end of every stage, and you can stop or change your mind at any of them.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Your business, your users, and one number we both agree would mean this worked.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Flows, hierarchy and rough screens. All the arguing happens here, before anything looks nice.

  3. 03

    Interface

    Visual design and a proper component library, not a folder full of one-off screens.

  4. 04

    Build

    Front end in React, Tailwind, Angular or WordPress. Responsive and accessible from the start.

  5. 05

    Prove it

    Test it against the number from stage one. Fix what missed. You end up with decisions you can defend without me in the room.

06 — Experience

Where the
years went.

2008 to now, in order. Sixteen of those years working in-house, before I started the studio.

07 — In their words

Clients, on
the record.

These are from projects delivered through UXSparrow. I led the design on all of them.

“We publish a lot, and fast. UXSparrow gave us a structure that holds up at that pace and a reading experience our subscribers actually stay in.”

Adv. Dinesh PV Co-founder · LiveLaw Biz

“Our catalogue is large and technical, and every supplier site in our trade looks the same. UXSparrow made ours easy to search and enquire from.”

Sheemon James Founder · Al Musheed Trading Est.

“The work speaks for itself once people can actually see it. UXSparrow built us a site that shows our projects properly.”

Abin Anto Founder · Illumine Builders

08 — Questions

The ones
everyone asks.

If it is not here, just ask. You will get a straight answer either way.

Is this you, or is this UXSparrow?

Both, and they are not competing. UXSparrow is the studio I started in 2025, and that is where client work gets contracted, invoiced and delivered. This site is me: eighteen years of work and what I personally did on it. Either way, I am the one doing the design.

How long does a project take?

A website redesign usually takes four to eight weeks. A focused UI/UX or dashboard job is more like two to four. Bigger products get split into phases, so you have something usable early instead of everything arriving at the very end.

Do you build, or only design?

I build. React, Next.js, Tailwind, Angular, plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or WordPress when that is the sensible choice. I can get it deployed on AWS too. I do not do back-end work — I hand over clean, documented code and work alongside your engineers.

What does a project cost?

Fixed price per project, quoted after a short call, so the number reflects real scope instead of a guess. Ongoing work runs on a monthly retainer. Tell me the budget you have and I will tell you honestly whether it is enough.

How do revisions work?

Two or three rounds per milestone, built into the schedule rather than charged as extras. Feedback goes in one place per round, so it does not turn up in fragments across four different apps.

Do you work with teams outside India?

Yes, most of my work is remote and international. I am on IST and keep overlap hours with Europe and the Gulf. For US teams we agree a fixed window each week.
