Designer. Builder. Lifelong learner and puzzle-solving enthusiast.

Hi, I’m Apurv, a Principal Product Designer with 14+ years of experience designing thoughtful B2B SaaS and enterprise products with a people-first mindset.

I started my design journey early, earning both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Design, and have built my career around solving complex problems through inclusive, user-centered design. My approach is grounded in two core beliefs: people over pixels, and accessibility as a foundation rather than an afterthought.

Over the years, I’ve worked across complex systems and enterprise environments, with a focus on making products more intuitive, useful, and human. I’m currently exploring new Senior, Staff, and Principal Product Designer opportunities.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, running in Toronto, playing soccer, and mentoring emerging designers.

Testimonials

Apurv has deep experience and a great mind for complex design problems. With his technical background mixed with his depth of design experience he was able to help us establish our first design system, Cable, at Zipline. This was a large step forward for the company and better enabled others bring design consistency across the product.
