A Closer Look at Who I Am
Hi, I'm Mahalakshmi Saravanan, a passionate UI/UX designer. It all began with a curiosity for solving problems.My journey led me from an engineering background into the world of UI/UX design, where I discovered my passion for creating user-centered experiences.
I started learning tools like Figma and Webflow to create clean, functional interfaces. I focus on making designs that are easy to use, visually clear, and responsive across devices.
My approach to design is user-centered. I like to break down complex problems and find simple, practical solutions that improve how users interact with a product.
I’m currently building my skills further and working on projects that help me grow as a designer. I'm looking forward to opportunities where I can contribute to real-world design challenges and learn from experienced teams.

Roam Easy is a mobile application crafted to simplify travel experiences for everyday travelers. The app serves as a centralized platform where users can discover diverse destinations, connect with travel guides, find like-minded travel partners, and share their experiences with a community of fellow adventurers. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features, Roam Easy aims to enrich the overall travel journey for its users.
Meet Emily, an avid traveler with a passion for exploring new cultures and landscapes. However, her excitement quickly fades when she faces the daunting task of planning a trip. The abundance of travel information available online often leaves her feeling lost and overwhelmed. She struggles to find reliable travel partners, navigate conflicting advice, and locate trustworthy guides.
While searching for a more efficient way to plan her trips, Emily discovers Roam Easy, a mobile application designed to streamline the travel experience. Intrigued by its promise of connecting travelers with guides and companions, she decides to give it a try.
To address Emily's struggle with planning her trips, I began by designing a low-fidelity wireframe for Roam Easy. This helped me map out the core structure of the app, ensuring a seamless user flow and functionality that would be easy for Emily to navigate. As I moved forward, I refined the wireframe into a fully realized UI design, carefully selecting colors, typography, and icons to enhance the experience. With every step, I focused on creating an interface that was not only visually appealing but also intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring Emily could use the app with ease and confidence.4o mini

SecureXchange
SecureXchange is a fictional blockchain-based data trading platform designed to simplify the way individuals and organizations buy and sell datasets. Built with a focus on privacy, transparency, and ownership, the platform ensures that every transaction is secure through smart contracts while protecting the integrity of digital assets.From dataset uploads to encrypted payments, SecureXchange reimagines data commerce one verified transaction at a time.
Data trading is often centralized, risky, and lacks transparency — making it hard for individuals and organizations to securely buy or sell datasets.
An Empathy Map helps us deeply understand our users their goals, frustrations, and behavior. For SecureXchange, it was crucial to map both Data Sellers and Data Buyers, since each has unique needs around trust, transparency, and value. This exercise guided me in designing a more human-centered, secure, and intuitive experience on the platform.

SecureXchange allowed me to explore the intersection of blockchain technology and user-centered design. By understanding both data sellers and buyers, I crafted a platform that feels secure, intuitive, and purposeful. This project reinforced the importance of empathy-driven design even in highly technical domains and showed how thoughtful UI can build trust in decentralized systems.
SecureXchange was born from a simple idea: data should be shared with consent, value, and security. Designing this platform pushed me to think beyond UI into trust, transparency, and the future of decentralized systems.As the digital world evolves, SecureXchange could grow into a smarter ecosystem enabling permission-based collaborations, cross-chain compatibility, and greater data accessibility for innovation without compromise.
