Designing visual collaboration tools for complex teams.
Lucid makes software for people who need to map, explain, and share complex systems. I worked across Lucidchart and Lucidscale on shipped features — from a new class of canvas object to the removal of a legacy editing mode — grounded in research I ran myself.

Alongside the flagship work, I shipped a steady stream of A/B-tested canvas improvements — quick diagramming patterns, shape library pinning, and smart suggestions — each validated with experiment data before rolling out.

About
Hi, I'm Abhinav.
I'm a senior UX designer and researcher at Lucid Software, where I lead and mentor designers across the canvas. Over the past decade I've shipped product for enterprise platforms, mobile-first consumer apps, and research-driven teams, often as the first or second designer in the room.
I care most about making complex systems feel obvious: tools people actually want to open, flows that work on one bar of signal, and research that changes a decision instead of sitting in a deck. Along the way I earned an MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington and a patent for the Diagram Keys work.
Outside work, you'll find me immersed in games, films, and books, or out on a hike with a camera, trying to do both at once.
