Meghana Thakkar

I’m a UX researcher and designer with a strong foundation in publication, graphic, and exhibition design. My journey began at the National Institute of Design (Ahmedabad) and continued with an MSc in User Experience Engineering from Goldsmiths, University of London. With this multidisciplinary background, I bring a unique blend of visual storytelling, research-driven thinking, and cross-cultural sensitivity to my work.

Over the past four years, I’ve led and contributed to diverse design projects—from enhancing the clarity of financial legal documents through UX research at Amplified Global, to creating digital solutions around pedestrian safety, sustainable living, and climate change. My work often focuses on simplifying complexity, crafting intuitive experiences, and designing for impact. I’ve collaborated with institutions like National Law University Delhi and Khoj International Artists' Association to create thoughtful, engaging, and award-winning designs.

My toolkit includes Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Webflow, and I’m experienced in methods like usability testing, participatory design, eye-tracking studies, and cognitive mapping. I enjoy every stage of the design process—whether it’s conducting user research, building service blueprints, or refining UI components within a design system. I thrive in environments where curiosity, empathy, and iterative problem-solving are valued.

Beyond design, I’m passionate about inclusive communication and storytelling. I’m fluent in English and Japanese, and speak several Indian languages, which allows me to collaborate across cultures with ease. I care deeply about the people I’m designing for and often go the extra mile to ensure their needs, challenges, and perspectives are at the heart of the solutions I build.

Currently based in Barcelona, I’m looking for opportunities where I can take ownership of the design process, work closely with interdisciplinary teams, and continue crafting meaningful, research-informed products. I’m especially drawn to roles where design is a key driver of innovation and impact—where good design not only looks good but makes a difference.
