I'm Lekha — a product designer focused on making financial products simpler, safer, and more human. I turn complex financial flows into decisions that feel obvious.
Every project starts with a question: what decision is the user trying to make, and how can design make that decision safer and clearer?
Designed an AI-assisted underwriting platform that helps loan underwriters review applications using document intelligence, explainable AI risk assessment, and human-in-the-loop decision making to improve consistency, transparency, and review efficiency.
Redesigned the payment decision flow to make fraud visible before users approve — using real-time risk scoring, progressive friction, and behavioral design techniques.
Designed an AI-assisted decision layer between user intent and financial commitment — helping users pause, evaluate risk, and make safer spending decisions before transactions complete.
A personal finance and savings app designed from hand-drawn wireframes to high-fidelity Figma prototype — covering onboarding, goal tracking, budgets, analytics and notifications.
Full UX research engagement for Lloyds Banking Group's digital team — designing and analysing customer surveys, conducting ethnographic research, and presenting data-driven recommendations.
Researched and designed a new banking product for a hypothetical client — building a primary research plan, developing tools to understand customer attitudes, and creating a validated persona.
Designed an electric vehicle companion app — from user persona creation through wireframing to a fully interactive Figma prototype demonstrating the complete app flow.
I'm Lekha Mer — a fintech product designer based in Bangalore, focused on designing financial products that help people make better decisions.
I focus exclusively on fintech because financial products carry real stakes. A confusing interface costs someone their savings. A missing risk signal costs someone their trust. Bad UX in finance isn't just frustrating — it's harmful.
My background in Finance and Marketing gives me business context most designers lack — I understand why products are built, not just how they look. Through simulations with Lloyds Banking Group, BCG X and bp × Jio, I've practiced the full research-to-design cycle.
I'm actively looking for junior roles and internships in fintech product design in Bangalore.
Every certification represents a real skill applied in a project — not just a badge collected.
Looking for junior roles, internships, and freelance projects in fintech product design. If you're building something in payments, banking, or financial tools — I'd love to be part of it.
Also open to feedback on my work. Always looking to improve.
