Hi! 👋   I’m Lokesh, a design leader passionate about crafting intuitive, impactful digital experiences.

I’ve spent 13+ years solving complex design challenges—modernizing products, building zero-to-one solutions, and evolving design systems to scale consistency.

Now at Adobe, I lead the design of an AI-first eLearning platform, defining how emerging technologies and human-centered design work together to create the future of learning.

Modernizing Adobe Captivate
User research | Design strategy | Product Design
Captivate is Adobe’s flagship eLearning tool used by instructional designers. We modernized the tool to make it simple and easy-to-use, for better content creation. This is an exciting, collaborative project that spanned multiple teams.

Rethinking responsive content authoring
Product Design | User testing
In an effort to simplify responsive content authoring, we tried an exciting parallel authoring concept. Eventually, based on feedback from our users and changing product priorities, we pivoted to a templatised content experience.

User validation: Design framework
User Research | Design strategy
We learnt more about our users, their process, and needs, in our effort to validate the hypotheses around the product framework and the design system. This exercise also made the stakeholders and the overall team confident about the new direction.

Enhancing contextual learning using AI
Experiment | Artificial Intelligence
We leveraged object identification capability of ML models to enhance contextual learning in hands-on tutorials.
