Hello, I'm Shimi Varghese, and I design user-centered experiences that enhance human lives and drive business growth.
With over 10+ years of experience in B2B, B2C, and SaaS, I am a passionate product designer dedicated to crafting user-centric designs that create meaningful experiences and drive real value for businesses. And I truly enjoy what I do.
Most recently, I worked at Mobicip, the leading parental control app. Before that, I was at PupleTalk, one of India’s fastest-growing service and product companies, and earlier at Excelsoft.

About
I’m Shimi Varghese — a product designer, with a deep understanding of how design can drive both business value and user satisfaction.
Born in Kerala and now settled in Bangalore, I started my journey with a degree in Chemistry before discovering my passion for design. After exploring multimedia, I began my career in UI design and front-end engineering and have since focused on all phases of user experience. I completed the Design Thinking for User Experience course at IIT Delhi, deepening my skills and strengthening my ability to innovate and create meaningful designs.

My experience encompasses diverse projects for both mobile, web, and desktop platforms, involving all phases of the design process from research to validation.
I was most recently working at Parental Control App, Mobicip. Where I served as the founding designer, leading and owning the branding and end-to-end product design to ensure a seamless user experience across all platforms. Our work has helped protect over 3 million families while providing peace of mind to parents worldwide.
Before that I worked for PurpleTalk — the fastest service and product company. Designed and led a diverse range of UX projects across multiple platforms. These projects spanned various industries such as Banking, E-commerce, Health, Gaming, Golf and Entertainment.
Before that I worked for ExcelSoft — Designed for a B2B product for the entire school management system, addressing the needs of parents, teachers, students, administrators, and super admins.
Over the years I’ve worked across Education Management, Parental Control, Analytical Tool, E-Commerce, Wellness Platform, Banking, Health, Entertainment and Games.
