UI/UX Designer & Developer

Designer who builds.

I'm Harshad Kakade — I design in Figma, then build it for real with React, Python & Flask.

View my work Let's talk

01 — Vision

An eye for detail.

Research-driven product UI, design systems and pixel-perfect, WCAG-accessible craft — across web, mobile & desktop, in Figma.

02 — Build

Then I build it.

Responsive front-ends in React, Python/Flask back-ends — and automation when a workflow's worth it.

What I do

Six ways I get used — from first pixel to shipped tool.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes to polished, WCAG-accessible UI — for web, mobile and desktop products.

Design Systems

Reusable components, tokens and documentation so a product stays consistent as it scales.

Frontend Development

Turning a design into a real, responsive interface — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React, wired to Python/Flask back-ends.

Python & Automation

Python/Flask back-ends and APIs, Figma plugins and AI-API orchestration that take the repetitive work out.

Motion & Visual Design

2D animation, motion graphics and branding assets for product and marketing.

Design × code — in motion

I design it — then I build it

I'm a UI/UX Designer & Developer with ~6 years across web, mobile and desktop. I design in Figma — research, design systems and pixel-perfect, WCAG-accessible UI — and then build it for real in HTML/CSS/JS, React and Python/Flask.

That design-and-code range is the point: I ship interfaces I designed myself, wire them to Python back-ends, and — when a workflow's worth it — automate it with scripts and AI. The proof spans domains: enterprise SaaS UI, a self-built trading system across web, Android & Wear OS, and Figma plugins on a Python/Flask backend.
