I led the implementation of a comprehensive and scalable design system on Figma, utilizing the platform's powerful features, such as variables, design tokens, and auto layouts.

I used Figma to create high-fidelity mockups, wireframes, and prototypes to improve the online admission system. This resulted in an improved user experience and a 20% increase in user satisfaction and efficiency.

I developed an interactive reporting dashboard for the course administrator, including a feature to grade learners and publish their scores and a system to track student progress and grades.

I created a mood board feature on the Target website and app. Users can organise wishlist items into categories and share them with friends. It adds inspiration and convenience to their shopping journey

I developed an engaging and easy-to-use time recording and leave management app that allows users to enter their billable hours and connect with the payroll.

I analysed users’ purchasing habits to optimize the customer journey for increased trials and repurchases. Using HCD principles, I crafted user experiences that converted visitors into customers.

Sayan Mitra - 1st
Senior Digital Product Manager at Target Australia
November 2, 2023, but didn't manage Varun directly

“Varun has been an outstanding asset to the UX Design team here at Target Digital. He has been involved in the conceptualisation, research, User Testing and design behind key initiatives on the Target website and App. These initiatives have helped drive key objectives and results for the business. He has been flexible, approachable and a good team player. I would readily recommend Varun as an asset in any organisation!”

Kate White - 1st
Digital Project & Communications Specialist
May 25, 2022, Kate worked with Varun on the same team

“When Varun took over the front-end design role partway through the project, his good nature and attention to detail instantly made working on the project easier. I had the pleasure of working with Varun for almost a year, during which time he was responsible for the UI design of a new online system that required balancing the expectations of its youth audience and compliance with corporate branding. Above all, I was impressed with Varun’s ability to find solutions that met stakeholder expectations while remaining on-brand. His calm good humour and his willingness to accept and act on feedback, made working with him a pleasure. Varun would be a true asset for any position requiring a front-end designer with an ability to balance competing stakeholder requirements and it is without hesitation that I recommend Varun.”

Cliff Booysen - 1st
Senior Business Analyst at the Department for Environment & Water
December 15, 2021, Cliff worked with Varun on the same team

“I worked closely with Varun at the University of Adelaide and he was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Something that really struck me about Varun is his great attitude and approach to work. He is not afraid to ask questions, he is collaborative and he takes feedback really well...even if it means that he needs to make wholesale changes. I really valued his input and often used him as a sounding board when trying to solve complex requirements-related problems.
I believe that Varun will be a valuable asset to any project team!”

Chris Berry - 1st
Cybersecurity and Technology leader
July 15, 2020, Chris managed Varun directly

“Varun is hands down the best UX person I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He took on our project and turned it around from a UX perspective. We undoubtedly would have not achieved the goals we had in mind without Varun on board.”
