I am a creative problem-solver, sneakerhead, and coffee enthusiast.
My name is Akshay, and I am a product designer from Seattle, WA. I have a strong passion for beautiful design, a love for sneakers, and a deep appreciation for a good cup of coffee. I am currently a UX Designer at Workday, designing AI Agent experiences for Workforce & Pay. I was previously at Datadog and VMware crafting data-intensive workflows at scale. My mission is to dive deep into the nuances of human behavior and emotions, using anthropological and humanistic methods, to craft experiences that feel like magic but resonate with millions of users.
I have deep expertise in crafting agent and generative AI-related experiences, data visualizations, and design systems on an enterprise level. When I'm not working through user flows, you can find me at the latest sneaker drops, visiting new cafés, or creating fun artwork.
