InterspectAI
Disrupting how interviews work - designing an AI-powered industry-agnostic interview platform.
OVERVIEW
As the Founding UI/UX Designer, I wear multiple hats at InterspectAI. My design responsibilities span website design, product design, establishing and maintaining a design system, brand designing, and designing market collaterals for brand outreach.
In a fast-paced next-gen startup like InterspectAI, aiming to revolutionize interview management and execution, my time here is filled with accelerated deliverables, rapid design iterations, timely collaborations, quick check-ins, effective time management, and crucial task prioritization to outperform the competitors and achieve the go-to-market timeline as fast as possible.
Timeline
Oct 2024 - Present
Role & Team strength
Founding UX Designer in a team of 12 people.
My contribution
Responsible for driving all design initiatives and activities, with a scope that extends to cross-functional collaboration with founders, managers, and developers—setting up foundational blocks through design systems, website design, end-to-end UX design for InterspectAI’s product suite, brand design, and assets for brand and product outreach.
DISCLAIMER
Due to NDA constraints, I’m unable to share full details of my work at InterspectAI. However, this page provides an overview of the project, including the timeline, my design process, and key learnings to date.
MY WORK
In my ongoing journey at InterspectAI, I have designed 3 versions of the website, 5 dashboards, and a universal design system to keep everything consistent.
The first version of InterspectAI’s website—featuring custom micro-animations—was delivered in 8 working days, back when the company was called 2ndSight.ai. The second, a teaser site reflecting the rebrand to InterspectAI, was launched in just 4 days. The third was a full-fledged, multi-page website showcasing InterspectAI and its product offerings. Additionally, I designed 5 distinct dashboards tailored to different target groups of the product.
DESIGN PROCESS
I adapt my design process based on the time, resources, and expected outcomes of my role. At InterspectAI, this meant rapid iterations, self-driven problem-solving, and frequent cross-functional collaboration.
Since time was a critical factor in determining timelines, I adopted a fast-paced design process comprising of requirement analysis, user journey mapping, frequent collaborations and check-ins, rapid iterations of messy sketches and low-fidelity wireframes, and organized execution of high-fidelity prototypes and engineering hand-offs.

LEARNINGS
Dealing with tight deadlines, an uncharted domain, and ambiguous requirements taught me to navigate complexity, think strategically, and make meaningful design decisions.
Thriving in ambiguity
Designing under ambiguity taught me how to ask better questions, navigate gray areas, and make informed decisions without waiting for perfect clarity.
Letting go to move forward
Building multiple versions of the product and website taught me how to detach from earlier ideas and evolve designs based on real constraints and feedback.
Frequent Check-ins and Rapid iterations
The work culture at InterspectAI has taught me that exhaustive brainstorming, rapid iterations, and frequent check-ins with stakeholders and developers ensures alignment within the team, speeds up decision-making, and reduces development time.
Detailed handoff = Accelerated development
Communicating design to developers can be challenging—creative intent often gets lost in translation. I’ve noticed that well-crafted handoffs, complete with interactive walkthroughs, labeled screens, and precise annotations, bridge the gap between design vision and technical execution, ensuring clarity and alignment throughout the build process.
