After 10+ years in SaaS, I kept seeing the same pattern. Products that rocketed past market-fit would fail under the pressure of growth. They all expected new outcomes from old ways of working and building.

I build scalable product experiences for sustainable business growth. You'll hire a Australia-based product designer who's worked with 25+ teams including Deputy, SafetyCulture, and ReachOut where 100k+ users are impacted each month.

Working with Akash was a genuine partnership. He consistently pushed us to think deeper about the problem, not just the solution, and helped build lasting design capability within the team.
Akash brought clarity to complex problem spaces and helped align product, design, and engineering around well-reasoned solutions. I would happily work with Akash again and strongly recommend him as a strategic design partner.
Akash is particularly strong at bringing people together, creating alignment across teams, and making collaboration feel natural and energising. What sets Akash apart is how he connects great design to real business outcomes.
