Curious • UX GEEK • Creative Problem Solver
Hey there, I’m Mohit Gupta – a product designer who’s all about making things look great and work even better. Originally from Mumbai and now based in Toronto, I’ve spent the past 6+ years collaborating with amazing teams at Shopify, Facebook,, and startups like Peggy, Nylas, Universe and Sidewalk Labs. My focus has always been on designing user-centric solutions that elevate both the user experience and business outcomes. With a sharp eye for detail and visual design, I specialize in creating visually compelling, user-centered experiences that are intuitive, human, and impactful.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects—internal tools, B2B, and B2C products. I have hands-on experience in everything from rapid prototyping and user research to applying UX methodologies and building iterative design solutions. Additionally, I’ve proactively supported teams by creating a wide range of materials, including illustrations, UI animations, visual assets, landing pages, and other marketing collateral.
At Shopify (B2C), I led the redesign of internal tools and product features that improved the onboarding and guidance experience for new merchants. As the sole designer at Nylas (B2B), I drove the complete redesign of their scheduling product, addressing 125+ feature requests and making it easy and intuitive for developers to embed out-of-the-box scheduler into their product. At Peggy, I collaborated with the team to launch new product features and refine the app’s overall user experience along with improving the web experience.
Before all that, while completing my BDes at York/Sheridan (2017-19), I interned at Facebook, Universe, and Sidewalk Labs. At Universe, I worked on enhancing the ticketing checkout experience, while at Sidewalk Labs, I contributed to sustainability and mobility projects, rapid-prototyping solutions for real-world challenges. At Facebook, I was involved in enhancing video ads tools for small businesses, helping them create effective campaigns with ease. Each of these experiences shaped how I approach design today — always with the user at the center, and always pushing boundaries.
I’m a proactive self-starter with a positive attitude, always ready to tackle challenges with empathy and a smile. I thrive in collaborative environments and believe empathy is at the heart of great design. With a solution-oriented mindset, I’m always ready to take the initiative and contribute wherever needed to make things happen. If you’re looking for a designer who can bring creativity, strategy, and problem-solving to the table, let’s chat!
Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio! 🙏
