About Zaltt
Unmesh Lele
Architect who learned to design for cognition. HCI researcher who learned to build.
Spatial design training from Pune. MSc Human-Computer Interaction from Nottingham. Now working at the intersection where physical architecture and digital interfaces share the same underlying problem: how do you give complex information to a human without overwhelming them? Every project at Zaltt starts upstream of the wireframe — with a problem statement, a research plan, and a success metric. It ends with the reasoning documented alongside the design: trade-off decisions, WCAG compliance reports, and a handoff that explains not just what was built, but why every decision held.
How I Work?
Methodology.
Three stages. Every project. No exceptions.
Effortlessly connect with your favorite tools. Whether it's your CRM, email marketing platform.
Stage 1
Deconstruction
Map the cognitive load before touching the interface. Every engagement starts here: a structured problem statement, a research plan, and success metrics defined before any wireframe is drawn. The goal is to find the question beneath the question — the friction that lives upstream of the symptom the brief describes.

Stage 2
Agentic Design
Ship the reasoning alongside the design. The deliverable isn't just screens. It's the trade-off log that explains why three alternatives were rejected. It's the WCAG compliance report. It's the handoff documentation a developer can build from without a follow-up call.

Case Studies
Three projects. Three domains. One consistent approach: design upstream of the interface, document downstream of the decision.

Working on something that shouldn't fail?
Complex problems benefit from a designer who documents the reasoning, not just the result. I take a small number of projects at a time. If the problem is worth solving carefully, let's talk.
