Girish Suryajoies
Principal UX Designer
Accomplished Designer with 17+ Years Driving Transformative Solutions.
I specialize in delivering visionary, user-centered design solutions across healthcare, retail, disaster management, time management, and entertainment. My work sparks engagement, elevates usability, and creates lasting impact.
Strategic Design Leadership
As a trusted design advisor, I align bold design visions with business objectives while inspiring cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact products that resonate with users and stakeholders.
Insight-Driven Design Strategy
I transform complex business challenges and user insights into actionable design roadmaps, guiding teams from ideation through launch. My experience spans startups to Fortune 500 clients, blending creativity with measurable results.
Innovation and Excellence
Passionate about emerging technologies and next-generation experiences, I help
brands differentiate through deep user insights and cutting-edge design.
With an MFA from Academy of Art University, San Francisco, I combine aesthetic excellence with disciplined creativity to deliver functional, visually captivating solutions.
From my childhood, I've been passionate about fine arts, which naturally evolved into digital arts as I grew older. I explored various mediums over the years, but oil painting captured my heart—particularly landscape painting, which became my primary focus.
This artistic foundation opened doors to an exciting career in the film industry, where I was fortunate to work as a digital environment artist on Hollywood productions, contributing to both digital animation and live-action movies. This experience allowed me to blend my traditional art skills with cutting-edge digital techniques, creating immersive worlds for the big screen.

Fine & Digital Arts
Cooking
When I step away from the design board, you'll find me in the kitchen—my favorite stress-buster. I love exploring Indian, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, with the occasional baking experiment. Cooking has become an unexpected teacher: it's shown me how to balance flavors like I balance design elements, how consistency matters as much as creativity, and how presentation and emotion are inseparable. It's design, just edible. And yes, as a vegetarian, I make a mean vegetable biryani!
What fascinates me most is this: the ultimate test of mastery—in cooking or design—is recreating something from pure memory. No recipe, no reference, just your subconscious remembering every nuance of taste and feeling. When you can do that, you've moved beyond technique into true artistry.
