Hey there, I‘m Akeeksha!

(Pronounced as Uh-keeeeck-shaa)
Let me give you a quick round-up of who I am:

🕘 Currently:
I’m simplifying insurance quote and bind journeys for customers at AidenAI, a tech consulting startup.

⏳ Prior: With over 3 years of experience, I’ve shipped 8+ consumer-facing products and earned a Master’s in Human-Centered Design from the University of Washington. While there, I collaborated with Google Maps to build wayfinding solutions tailored for Gen Z. 🗺

🦖 Pre-prior: My design journey started with art and grew into architecture, where I saw how design shapes society. In 2020, I discovered product design as a new way to create impact—and I’ve been exploring its endless possibilities ever since!

🐾 Outside of work, I lead education and animal welfare initiatives in India, currently caring for the cutest pack of 20+ street puppers.

👉  Oh, and btw! I am open to full-time opportunities o the West 👈
