Kanchan Gaur, Product Designer

Welcome! I’m Kanchan Gaur, a Product Designer based in Los Angeles. Currently at Lyft, I’m part of the Pii (Payment, Identity, and Integrity) team, where I’m focused on improving the tax experience for drivers on the Lyft Driver App.

Over 5 years at Lyft, I’ve also worked across multiple teams designing executive dashboards for leadership and streamlining internal tools to support developer workflows.

Since 2020, I’ve contributed to several of Lyft’s core experiences:

  • Pii (Payment, Identity & Integrity) Team – Driver App

    I’ve led initiatives to improve tax workflows and make earnings documents more accessible for drivers.

  • Marketplace Team – Data Analytical Dashboards

    I’ve designed internal data analytical dashboards used by Lyft’s top executives to drive business decisions

  • Developer Experience Team – Internal Tools

    I’ve built intuitive tools to support deployments, risk tracking, and daily operations for our internal engineering teams.

Research Driven

I begin by immersing myself in the problem space, understanding users, business objectives, and constraints. Research and data guide every decision, from defining the right problems to prioritizing solutions.

Adaptive Thinking

Each project is different. I adapt based on goals, timelines, technical context, and team structure, balancing design rigor with execution speed.

Structured Exploration

Early-stage ideation includes sketching, brainstorming, and flow mapping. I use wireframes and prototypes to test concepts quickly, gather feedback, and iterate with clarity.

Visual Craftsmanship

Good design solves problems. Great design is also delightful. I focus on creating interfaces that are intuitive, elegant, and accessible—aligned with brand and user expectations.

Team Collaboration

I work closely with engineers, PMs, designers, and other stakeholders to ensure design intent is preserved through launch. I keep design files organized, annotated, and scalable to enable seamless handoffs and team growth.

Systems Thinking

I don’t just design screens, I design systems. I create scalable design foundations that adapt over time, support reuse, and reduce design debt.
