I MAKE
DESIGN MATTER.
Lead Product Designer. AI-native. Based in London.
I have helped teams at LSEG, Virgin Atlantic, Royal Mail and abrdn ship products that people actually use and that move the numbers that count. My recent project saved a UK wealth management firm £0.25M annually.
KEY CLIENTS
ABOUT ME
I am Chitrarasu. Citruz for short.
I have led design on products used by thousands of people daily. Products that have reached 3M+ viewers, engaged 4,000+ employees on a single launch day, and earned 100% client satisfaction across national rollouts.
I use AI throughout my design process. It is how I close the gap between what gets designed and what gets built. And move faster without sacrificing craft.
I stay in it from strategy to delivery. I work closely with product, engineering, and business teams. That is where the best work happens.
Good design changes how people feel. Great design changes how businesses perform. I do both.

WHAT I DO
PRODUCT DESIGN
I take projects from messy brief to polished, shippable product. End to end.
AI NATIVE DESIGN
I design with and for AI. GenAI assistants, intelligent workflows, and experiences that feel ahead of their time.
EXPERIENCE STRATEGY
I translate business goals and user insight into design decisions that hold up under pressure. I also shape how design works inside an organisation.
USER RESEARCH
I find out what users actually do. Not just what they say they do.
DESIGN SYSTEMS
I build pattern libraries and systems that scale across products, teams, and time.
LEADERSHIP & MENTORSHIP
I lead teams, grow designers, and keep quality high at pace.
CASE STUDIES
Real projects. Real constraints.
Real outcomes.
