Greetings! My name is Swapnali Kulkarni. I am an independent UX consultant with over 10+ years of experience, helping clients translate ideas and complex business needs into intuitive user experiences. My career is driven by a commitment to build human-centred digital experiences through usability excellence, thoughtful design, and effective problem-solving. Leveraging my expertise, I provide end-to-end UX design services tailored to meet clients' specific needs.

I blend timeless human-centred skills with AI technologies to enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and deliver high-quality, thoughtfully crafted product experiences.

I completed my Masters in User Experience Design from Birmingham City University in 2024. Previously I worked as a Sr. UX designer, crafting digital experiences for legacy applications in Siemens Technology and Services, India.

As an accomplished researcher and published author, I have consistently employed extensive user research methods throughout my career. I am a published author and researcher with recent work published at IEEE's Gaming, Entertainment, Media (GEM 2024) conference in Turin, Italy. My research paper focused on using immersive technologies to support students facing mental health challenges. The title of the research is "Translating Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Strategies to Tackle Anxiety Symptoms in University Students".

Beyond my expertise as a researcher and usability specialist, I specialise in designing inclusive and accessible user experiences that are compliant with WCAG guidelines. I also have experience creating immersive interactions using technologies such as AR and VR. Leveraging this diverse expertise, I have successfully designed and improved many digital products experiences. My experience working with clients ranging from startups to multinational organisations has enabled me to drive innovation, streamline design processes, and deliver effective product solutions.
