About me
Pratik Shah -
Design Leader at Walmart
With over 13 years of experience in UX design, Iâve shaped intuitive experiences across industries like FinTech, Entertainment Metadata, Audio Research, and Retailâfrom nimble startups to Walmartâs global ecosystem. Currently a Senior Design Manager at Walmart, I lead teams in transforming complex challenges into clean, user-first solutions that align design innovation with business goals.
My journey began as a teenager tinkering with Photoshop and coding websites, which led to a degree in Information Technology. Early work with startups revealed my true calling: bridging the gap between development and design. I pivoted to UX, combining self-taught creativity with strategic insights to craft tools that simplify livesâand eventually evolved into leading teams to scale that vision.
Today, I focus on empowering designers and driving cross-functional collaboration. By mentoring talent, leveraging data-informed decisions, and advocating for user-centricity, I turn insights into products that resonate. Whether scaling design systems, visualizing data, or integrating emerging tech like machine learning, I champion simplicity as the ultimate sophisticationâand design leadership as the backbone of business growth.
Outside of pixels and prototypes, Iâm an avid outdoors enthusiast who secretly dreams of trading deadlines for a world tour. (But until then, youâll find me balancing logic, empathy, and a dash of adventure in every project.)

What makes or breaks a product team?
Strong design principles are one. A clear, effective roadmap is another. But one of the most important, yet overlooked, aspects of all great product teams, are the relationships between the designers and engineers on your team...

Thought I'd share my journey on creating my first Product design system.
I remember the first day I joined Capital Float, I asked my colleague if there was a style-guide I could use in Sketch. He told me we didn't have any style-guide and only had some screens designed...
