About Me

👋🏼 I am Gaurang, a multidisclipinary Product Designer with over 5 years of experience spread across eCommerce and Marketplace domains. Most recently, I worked on the Customer Growth team at Thumbtack, and on the Navigation and Personalization teams at Victoria's Secret.


I enjoy breaking down complex problems to create simple and thoughtful experiences that solve customer problems and fulfill business needs. I am skilled at designing 0 to 1 products, defining vision and strategy, building alignment with product and engineering partners and using data to design a holistic user experience. I believe in involving my cross-functional partners early and often, and I thrive in collaborative environments.


I am looking for a new opportunity in Seattle, WA (or US remote) where I can collaborate with and learn from other talented humans to create a meaningful impact. Want to discuss an opportunity or just have a chat? Reach out to me on Twitter or send an email to [email protected]!
