I'm Saroj,
a product designer from Kathmandu Nepal Flag .

I began my design career in 2011, driven by a curiosity for the field. As a self-taught designer without formal training, I initially focused on graphic and UI/UX design and have since gained experience across start-ups, product companies, design agencies, and service providers, contributing to over 40 client projects.

With more than 13 years in graphic and product design, I have developed expertise across numerous industries, including healthcare, ERP, e-commerce, fintech, edtech, and law. My key strengths lie in product ideation, innovation, design strategy, and implementation, all aimed at delivering impactful user experiences.

Currently, I work at Leapfrog Technology as a Design Architect and Design Manager , leading cross-functional teams to create user-centric products. I also oversee a design team of over 20 individuals, focusing on design strategy, team growth, and mentoring junior designers, which has resulted in improved efficiency and enhanced product innovation.
