About
I design products that earn their users' trust.
I'm Mihir Vaghani — a Product Designer based in Surat, India, working with teams across the US, EU, and Middle East. I'm currently the Lead UI/UX Designer at Tagline Infotech, where I lead design across client products in fintech, wellness, logistics, and AI.
Before this, I spent nearly two years as the founding designer at CapSync — a fintech platform serving individuals and financial advisors in the US. I built the product and the design system from zero, and stayed through the launch and scale phase.
Across five years I've shipped 12+ client products and 5+ personal tools. I care about product thinking over pixel-polish, design systems that survive engineering contact, and shipping over deliberating.

How I Work
Five things I believe about product design.
Product thinking > pixel polish
Every pretty interface hides a set of decisions. Start with the decisions — the visual layer is how you communicate them, not where you start.
Design systems are products
They're not Figma files — they're infrastructure. Build them like software: versioned, documented, and maintained with the same rigour as the product they serve.
Trust is visual
In fintech, wellness, or logistics, users decide in milliseconds whether a product feels safe. The system has to feel right before it reads right.
Ship to learn
A design reviewed in a crit isn't a design tested in the wild. Defer opinion, prefer evidence — the fastest path to a good design is a shipped one.
Motion is a language
If it communicates meaning — speed, weight, hierarchy — it belongs. If it's decoration, cut it. Every animation should earn its milliseconds.
