Designing for bold voices and real-world impact.

I had the opportunity to lead concept development and product vision during an early design sprint for 'The We Collective'—a public discourse platform created for and with the founder of Hill Eco Inc. Working as part of the incredible team at KICK Consultancy, we crafted the identity and teaser launch to reflect the platform’s purpose: to create space for diverse voices to be seen, heard, and valued.

Balancing big-picture thinking with close attention to detail, always with an eye on creating something valuable, impactful, and engaging for the people who will use it.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Empathy-First Design:

I prioritize understanding users' real needs and emotions. My goal is to create designs that resonate on a personal level and feel intuitive.

Aesthetics with Purpose:

My fashion and graphic design background sharpened my eye for detail and visual storytelling. I ensure every design element is beautiful and enhances clarity for a seamless user journey.

Adaptability and Open-Mindedness:

I stay flexible and open to new ideas, adapting to each project’s needs. I’m always ready to learn, pivot, and evolve as needed.

Collaborative Ideation:

I believe the best ideas come from open, inclusive brainstorming. I create spaces where a team's voice is valued and encouraged to contribute.

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

I’m an empathy-first designer with project experience across diverse industries, including B2B tech, Healthcare, Education, AI, and e-commerce/retail.

I'm Aakanksha, a Product Designer with experience in Product, UX/UI design, and UX research.

I care about dressing experiences that blend aesthetics with purpose, ensuring each design feels natural and impactful.

PS: Outside of design, I'm always looking for ways to get inspired or explore art through different mediums.

ABOUT ME

WHAT DRIVES ME?

I enjoy cooking, exploring museums, traveling, and immersing myself in different cultures.

Sipping a good cup of matcha in a cozy cafe helps me keep my creativity flowing.

Hiking and exploring nature are my kinds of meditation to keep me sane.
