About me

Karunakar Kadari

I’m Karunakar Kadari, a UX Architect and freelance UX designer based in Hyderabad. My experience spans enterprise tools, AI monitoring platforms, learning products and complex operational workflows.

I work with product managers, engineers and business stakeholders to turn requirements into clear user journeys and usable interfaces. My approach combines UX strategy, hands-on design and collaboration through delivery.


For freelance and contract engagements, I can help with product reviews, workflow redesign, Figma design systems and ongoing feature design.

How I can help your team

Bring me in to review an existing product, redesign a difficult workflow or support your team through delivery.

UX audit and improvement plan

Understand where users struggle and what to improve first. I review navigation, key workflows and interface consistency, then provide practical recommendations with clear priorities.

UX findings • Prioritised recommendations • Suggested flow improvements

Product and dashboard redesign

Make complex applications easier to use. I work on information architecture, user flows and interface design, supported by reusable Figma components and clear developer handoff.

User flows • Wireframes and UI • Components and handoff

Contract UX support

Add experienced UX support to your product team. I collaborate with product managers and engineers to explore requirements, design features and maintain consistency as the product evolves.

Feature design • Design reviews • Product and engineering collaboration

Discover My Journey in Design

My path wasn't traditional. I started in fashion design at J.D Institute, where I first learned that good design is about making people feel confident and comfortable. That human-centered approach stuck with me when I transitioned to digital design in 2014.

The turning point? Working with my first development team and realising that beautiful interfaces mean nothing if they don't solve real problems. That's when I fell in love with UX research, user testing, and the art of turning insights into action. Today, as UX Architect at InovarTech, I lead a team of talented designers while staying hands-on with complex projects. I've had the privilege of working with brands like T-Mobile, DigiYatra, and Indian Railways—each teaching me something new about scale, accessibility, and impact.

Design with Strategy and Creativity

My process blends strategy and creativity to address challenges, craft solutions, and deliver designs that effectively communicate your message.

01.

Getting to Know You (and Your Users)

I start every project by really getting to know you—your goals, your audience, the heart of your business. I mix classic research with AI-powered insights to spot patterns and opportunities others might miss. It’s about blending empathy and data for a strategy that actually works in the real world.

Sparking (Smart) Ideas Together

I use workshops, sketches and prototypes to explore requirements with the team. AI-assisted tools support the exploration; product context and user needs guide the decisions.
