Ravi Palwe
Senior Product Designer
Hi, I'm Ravi.
I've spent over two decades crafting large-scale interfaces for the financial sector. I build systems that handle complexity without feeling complicated.
Lately, my focus has shifted to the cost of those pixels. SOLAR is my answer to digital bloat—a planet-first framework that bakes carbon budgets and energy-aware components directly into the design process.
I believe powerful design sits at the intersection of deep user understanding, business strategy, and beautiful—but efficient—execution.
The Impact
I don't just hand off wireframes; I fix ecosystems.
The Work: I recently led the redesign of a primary user platform that cut customer complaints by 60% and boosted user satisfaction by 45%.
The Team: I'm passionate about mentorship. I recently took a team of junior designers and, within six months, coached them into a unit capable of managing complex projects independently.
The Toolkit
Instead of a laundry list, here is how I apply my experience:
01. Strategy & Research
I use generative research and heuristic evaluation to find the right problem before we start solving it. I translate messy business requirements into clear, actionable strategies.
02. The Craft
From pixel-perfect UI to complex interaction design, I focus on accessibility and performance. If it isn't legible and fast, it isn't finished.
03. Systems Thinking
I build things that scale. Whether it's developing the SOLAR framework or establishing design tokens for a financial app, I ensure consistency across the board.
Open Source
SOLAR is open and community‑driven.
Use it, fork it, contribute. If it helps you ship better work, give it a star on GitHub and share it with a teammate.
