Eldose Skaria

I’m Eldose Skaria, Manager - Experience Design at Cognizant Technology Solutions, with over 20 years of experience designing digital experiences that simplify complexity and improve the way people work, shop, and interact with technology.

My journey began with a passion for visual design, but over the years it evolved into a deeper passion for understanding people, solving real-world problems, and creating experiences that make a meaningful impact.

Throughout my career, I've transformed complex business challenges into simple, intuitive, user-centered experiences across enterprise, retail, e-commerce, mobile, and digital products—balancing user needs with business goals.

I turn complex challenges into seamless, user-friendly experiences.

My Journey

Early in my career, I focused on creating visually engaging interfaces. Over time, I learned that great design is not only about pixels, colors, or layouts - it is about people.

I began looking beyond the screen

From Creating Interfaces to Designing Experiences

What problem are users trying to solve?

What friction stands in their way?

How can we make the experience effortless?

This shift shaped my journey from a UI designer into a UX professional focused on creating experiences that deliver real value.
