Hey there, I‘m Akeeksha!

(Pronounced as Uh-keeeeck-shaa)
Let me give you a quick round-up of who I am:
🕘 Currently: Simplifying insurance quote and bind journeys for customers at AidenAI, a tech consulting startup.
⏳ Prior: I’ve shipped 8+ consumer-facing products across industries like finance, agro-tech, and e-commerce. I've also earned a Master’s in Human-Centered Design from the University of Washington. While there, I worked with Google Maps to design wayfinding solutions tailored for Gen Z.
🦖 Pre-prior: My design journey started with art and evolved into architecture, where I explored how behavior and design shape each other. Wanting to create more direct, scalable impact, I transitioned to product design in 2020.
🐾 Outside of work, I run an animal rescue initiative in India, currently caring for a pack of 20+ of the cutest street puppers.
Oh, and! I’m open to full-time opportunities.
