Sharayu Kute - Product Designer

Coming soon

View Case Study

Hello, I'm Sharayu.

I grew up in Mumbai, India and now live in Seattle, Washington.

I once asked people who know me to describe me. The answers were consistent: driven, introspective, meticulous. That probably explains how I ended up in design.

Before design, I worked in engineering program management at Tata Motors (parent company of Jaguar Land Rover). Being close to product and design teams is where I first saw what thoughtful design decisions could do, and I didn’t want to stay on the sidelines.

So I took a risk. I resigned, taught myself design, and pursued UX full-time.

My PM days strongly shape how I approach design: understanding business, thinking through technical constraints, and getting cross-functional alignment, ALL while driving user advocacy.

Recently, I’ve been designing for Copart’s live auction and previously built enterprise and SaaS products at a high-ownership, fast-paced agency, Pineapple Design.

Outside of design, I draw comics, usually rooted in self-awareness and dry humor.
