How I Work
We start with a conversation. I want to understand your users, your business, and what's not working before I touch a single screen.
I map the problem. User flows, pain points, interaction gaps — all made visible before any design starts.
Wireframes, prototypes, interaction details. You see the work in progress — not just the final version at the end.
Clean design files, specs, and I stay involved through development to make sure what gets built matches what was designed.
Social Proof
If you're looking to elevate your product's user experience — from interaction flows to visual direction — Anandu is the person to call. He brings clarity to complex problems, a sharp design eye, and the kind of strategic thinking that turns ideas into experiences users actually love.

CTO, Melaartisans
Anandu built the design system from scratch and kept dev and design aligned through every sprint. The demo-first approach he pushed for changed how we worked — and helped us land investment.

Head of Product, Helpchat
Anandu's graphic design work was remarkably fast without ever sacrificing quality. At our tech exhibitions, the visuals he produced stopped people mid-aisle — exactly what you need in a busy expo space.

About
I'm Anandu Sivan, an Interaction and UX Designer based in Glasgow, working with teams across the UK and internationally.
I'm not interested in making things pretty. I'm interested in making things work — and then making them feel effortless. That means starting with research, not assumptions.
If you want to work with someone who asks "why" before asking "what colour" — let's talk.
Start a ConversationDoes This Sound Familiar?
Every week without clear UX direction is a week of development time building the wrong thing. Features ship. Users still churn.
You've probably tried patching it — a new onboarding flow here, a redesigned button there. But piecemeal fixes don't fix broken interaction logic. And your users feel every rough edge.
You don't need a bigger team or a six-month agency retainer.
You need a designer who starts with the problem, not the pixels — and works with your team from research through to the final interaction detail.
