Tirish Sooriah
I design the apps people use at home and the tools they use at work. These days, a lot of them have AI in them.
Went live in 2025, still running
Designing AI livery generation for a car configurator
You type what you want on the car and the AI paints it. I spent most of my time on what happens when it doesn’t work.
A concept I made in four weeks
Designing a quoting tool for travel experts
The AI reads the client’s request and drafts the quote. The expert checks it and signs. Claire gets her whole trip as one page on her phone.
A concept I started in September
Designing a payments app around open finance
All your bank accounts and wallets in one app. When a bill is about to bounce, it suggests moving money from the account that can cover it. I’m designing it around three people in Mauritius, one of them a delivery rider with no payslip.

Racing fan app
Live races, a fantasy league and watch parties with friends.

Shows what each room uses, with points for saving energy.

Hi, I'm Tirish.
My first job, in 2015, was typing hotel rates into a booking system for travel agents. They used it all day and struggled with it, and I wanted to know why. I've been working on complex systems ever since: at a tour operator, in digital transformation, and, since 2022, as a product designer at Fantastic Mind. I studied Mass Communication, and I still write a lot before I draw.
When I am not working, you will find me running Mythic+ dungeons and Raids in World of Warcraft, or playing Apex Legends and Fortnite with my wife and close friends. What I love most is the competitive side: getting a little better every week and slowly mastering something difficult. Off the screen, my time goes into film photography, good food, and studying Japanese kanji.
