Romesh Liyanage

Product Designer

Hello! I’m Romesh, a strategic thinker who enjoys the challenge of solving complex problems through design. I thrive on creating intuitive digital experiences that people love and drive real business impact.

What are my expertise

Product Design (Mobile & Web)

Crafting seamless experiences across devices

I design responsive, user-friendly apps for both mobile and web platforms, balancing usability with visual clarity.

Figma Expert

Design precision, powered by Figma

From pixel-perfect UIs to collaborative workflows and design systems, I push Figma to its full potential.

Design Systems

Consistency at scale

I build flexible design systems that keep products cohesive and empower teams to move faster with clarity.

What shapes my design decisions

UX Research & Strategy

Design driven by insight

I uncover real user needs and translate them into actionable strategies that inform smarter, purpose-driven design.

Accessibility

Design for everyone

I believe inclusive design is essential, my work ensures that products are usable, readable, and enjoyable for all.

Accessibility Considerations

Psychology in Design

Human behavior meets UX

I apply cognitive principles to design experiences that are intuitive, persuasive, and emotionally engaging.

How my design process looks

My design process depends on the context and is shaped by user needs, business goals, technical constraints, team structure, and timeline.

But my core steps (research → ideation → design → testing → iteration) remain the same, while the approach is flexible to suit the project.

I use Design Thinking for human-centered projects that need deep empathy and iterative problem-solving.

I follow the Double Diamond model to separate problem discovery from solution development, perfect for structured teamwork and clarity at each phase.

I apply HEART to measure UX success, Jobs-To-Be-Done to focus on real user needs, and the Hook Model to design habit-forming digital experiences.
