Hello, I'm Aakanksha!


I'm a Product Designer based in London, UK. I hold an MSc in HCID from City, University of London, and I've spent the last 5+ years designing across B2B platforms and consumer apps, with work reaching 90M+ users in India and across 3+ countries globally.


My background in Architecture and Illustration means I came to digital design thinking in systems, layers, and how spaces feel to move through. That instinct now shows up in my love for scalable UI design and design systems, building things that hold together at scale, but feel human.


I also have a soft spot for 3D, motion, and the kind of small visual details that make someone stop and look twice. I love exploring a new tool and pushing beyond its intented use to reveal its magic.


Outside of screens, I sketch cities, chase my reading goals, and am probably thinking about how something could work/look better.
