Portfolio — 2026 edition38.7223° N, 9.1393° W

I design and build interfaces for people who read them every day.

I design and build thoughtful digital experiences where product design and engineering meet. I care about clear interfaces, useful systems, and the details that make software feel considered rather than assembled.

Six projects, 2022 — 2026

Demo fintech company

This demo project explores how complex financial information can be presented without overwhelming the people who use it every day. The interface combines a structured data system with clear hierarchy, contextual actions, and expandable detail views.

What I do

Three ways of working

01Design
Interface design focused on hierarchy, typography, interaction, and systems that remain useful beyond a single screen or marketing page.
02Engineering
Production React and TypeScript with accessibility, performance, responsive behaviour, and maintainable architecture treated as part of the design.
03Direction
Turning ambiguous product ideas into clear experiences, aligning design and engineering, and helping small teams move from an early concept to something shipped.

About

I'm Dhiren, a design engineer interested in the space between product design and software. I enjoy taking complicated ideas and turning them into interfaces that feel simple, deliberate, and easy to use.

My work sits across design systems, interaction design, front-end engineering, and product thinking. I like being involved early enough to shape the problem and close enough to the implementation to make sure the details survive.

Outside of project work, I spend time exploring typography, interfaces, creative tools, and small experiments that make me better at the craft. The projects shown here are demo examples and can be replaced with Dhiren's real work.
