Summary
Parag Nandi is a UX designer with a decade of experience crafting consumer and enterprise experiences across AI, wearables, IoT, and fintech, currently shaping edge hardware workflows on the AWS Snow team in Seattle. He has led design for Samsung Galaxy Watch features and cross-border IoT integrations, and his work at Avail helped drive product adoption that supported a $26M Series A raise. Parag blends field research with systems thinking—testing real-world workflows from blue-collar lending to smart-home bystander privacy during his UW research—to turn complex technical constraints into simple, usable interactions. He contributes to open-source design efforts (Mozilla Testpilot) and has helped establish design systems at BrowserStack and product teams at Housing.com. Comfortable mentoring and coordinating across global engineering and product teams, he pairs hands-on prototyping with strategic vision for multi-device ecosystems. An interesting thread through his career is repeatedly designing for marginalized or overlooked users—whether bystanders, low-tech borrowers, or wearables users—to make technology more considerate and accessible.
