Owned end-to-end design for DavisInsight, a data-heavy analytics platform used by traders and analysts, delivering dashboards, filters, and interactive data visualisations for commodity price tracking.
Built and maintained the platform's Figma design system, reducing inconsistency across modules and cutting iteration cycles for the design team on every release.
Partnered directly with the COO to translate business strategy into product roadmap decisions, and led a 3-person cross-functional team that shipped DavisInsight 20% ahead of schedule.
Produced high-fidelity prototypes used in stakeholder and developer handoff, shortening the gap between design sign-off and implementation.
Jules AI is a sister company of Davis Index; this role was an internal transfer.
Built Jules AI's UI component library and style guide from the ground up, establishing the design language later adopted across the product suite. Converted PRDs into user flows and high-fidelity screens, streamlining developer handoff and reducing back-and-forth during implementation.
Designed an end-to-end freight booking module, KPI dashboard, booking table, detail side panel, new booking flow, and status change workflows, shipped as a core product feature.
Mentored junior designers on UX research methods, wireframing, and cross-team communication as part of a growing design function. Partnered with product managers and engineers throughout QA to ensure design intent was preserved through to release.
Conducted a full audit of the company website, identifying gaps in visual hierarchy and inconsistent UI elements, then redesigned key pages to improve clarity and brand consistency.
Aarash's path into product design is unconventional, a transition built on client-facing business knowledge rather than a formal design background. Each earlier role developed skills in communication, problem-solving, and client management that now inform a business-first approach to design decisions.
