I began writing thought pieces on sustainable design, diversity, and inclusivity while I was still a design student who was trying to find my colours. I actively look for opportunities to advocate for gender-inclusive design practices.

As a non-binary person, motivated by my lived experiences as a consumer and driven by my spirit as an informed UX designer, I believe that Inclusivity shouldn’t be an afterthought. I can safely say that, having been on both sides of the coin, the designer and the user in this context, empathy goes a long way. Making one feel seen and heard can be so validating, and that validation shouldn’t be something that feels extraordinary to experience. It should be normal.

I'm here dropping my two cents in design, data, and tech, to be part of something that creates value.

I began designing digital experiences in the late 1990s, when building for the web meant learning by doing. Early in my career, I worked across graphic design, branding, websites, portals, and e-commerce, developing a broad foundation that connected visual communication with technology and user experience.

Over time, I specialized in UX/UI and digital product design, leading projects for government institutions, startups, established businesses, and global clients. I built design systems, created scalable interfaces, and became the bridge between design, development, and business teams. This period shaped my belief that the best products come from clear process, structured thinking, and close collaboration.

Running my own business allowed me to work internationally, live in 11 countries, and deliver over 300 client projects. As tools evolved, I adopted no-code and modern prototyping workflows to accelerate time to market. This led to publishing 20+ native apps on iOS and Android and refining a repeatable method to go from idea to shipped product efficiently.

As my experience grew, so did my focus on teaching. I became a mentor, guiding designers and product builders through weekly one-on-one sessions, structured feedback, and practical career development. Over the years, I have mentored 70+ designers and supported more than 4,500 learners worldwide. Today, my work sits at the intersection of design, product, and education. I design and ship digital products, build frameworks and processes, and teach others to do the same as a team of one.

My mission is to make product creation accessible, structured, and achievable for individuals and small teams by combining design expertise, strategic thinking, and AI where it matters most.

Stefi P. Krishnan is a co-founder of the Bulgarian Design Council and a Principal Product Designer at eHealth NSW, working within Australia’s largest public health system.
