Product Designer | 0→1 Products, Growth & UX | Turning Complex Problems into Simple Experiences

About

I’m a Product Designer who likes turning messy problems into simple, thoughtful experiences. I care about the small things the interaction that feels just right, the hierarchy that makes a screen effortless to scan, and the tiny details most people won’t notice but would definitely feel if they were missing. My work spans product design, UX, visual design, and a bit of everything in between. I’ve worked on real products, freelance projects, and ideas that started with way too many Figma tabs open. I’m especially interested in AI products, consumer tech, and products where good design can make something complex feel surprisingly simple. Currently looking for opportunities to work with ambitious teams, solve interesting problems, and build products people actually enjoy using. Portfolio: akshitmanik.vercel.app
