About Me

Hi, I’m Garima.

A product designer who turns ambiguity into clarity by designing complex enterprise products that feel intuitive, human, and trustworthy.

Based in San Francisco/Bay area, I’m currently a Staff Product Designer for a cloud-based monitoring platform at Fortinet , working closely with product, engineering, and cross-functional partners from discovery through launch.

I enjoy working in environments where complexity is high and clarity is critical—designing experiences, not just screens. I value clarity, consistency, and thoughtful defaults, and I believe good design earns trust over time.

I’ve worked within ambiguity and experienced the challenges of information silos, which has shaped a strong belief: meaningful design is never created in isolation. It emerges when teams work closely with users to deeply understand their challenges and solve real problems together.

I began my career as a QA engineer, which fundamentally shaped how I approach design. It gave me a deep appreciation for edge cases, technical constraints, and how products behave in real-world conditions. That foundation helps me stay grounded in execution while being an empathetic partner to product and engineering teams.

When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me with my family, building LEGO sets, exploring the outdoors or cooking Indian food.

FROM PEOPLE I’VE WORKED WITH

She was thrown into a very fast paced environment, where she essentially ended up with multiple product responsibilities. She came up to speed really fast, she led the UX and UI, and took on a leadership role, and gained respect of the development team quickly. She will be a great asset to any organization.
Ravi K., Product & Technology Director
Very talented. A fast learner. And a team player. I was particularly impressed with her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and her ability to adapt to a dynamic environment. In spite of some demanding challenges, Garima always brought her best.

Garima would be an asset to any team!
