"I had the pleasure of directly managing Vandana Gupta during her time as a Senior UX Designer on our team at Citi, where she consistently stood out as one of our most thoughtful and dependable designers. Vandana combines strong interaction and visual design skills with a deep understanding of complex financial workflows, and she is highly skilled at turning research insights into thoughtful and effective design solutions, translating ambiguous business requirements into intuitive, production‑ready experiences."

"I had the pleasure of working with Vandana for six months in 2025 on a series of challenging UX design projects, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional designer and collaborator. Her command of Figma is impressive — she moves quickly and thoughtfully from concept to high-fidelity design — but what truly sets her apart is her design thinking. She consistently pushed to understand the root of user pain points and crafted solutions that were both inventive and grounded in established design system patterns."

"I had the pleasure of working with Vandana on an AI project where she led UX/UI design for an app that processed broker submissions for an insurance company. Vandana brought clarity to a complex problem space and consistently translated technical and business needs into intuitive, user‑focused designs. She’s a thoughtful collaborator, a strong design leader, and someone who elevates every team she joins. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for any product design leadership role."
