My name’s Akshay, a Product Designer based in New York City. I hold my roots from the beautiful city of Mumbai situated in Western India. Moving from one city to another, I don’t miss home much since its all the same to me. Crowded trains, trashy roads, food trucks and unknown neighbors, what’s not to love. On a professional note, I started my career in Software Engineering! I worked for a fin-tech company called Indus Valley Partners (India) Pvt. Ltd. Just like the standard name, the work was pretty standard too, and a year into it, I realised this wasn’t something I wanted to pursue in life as a career path, so I took the pivot and moved to the United States After successfully completing my Masters in Human Computer Interaction (with a pretty dope GPA) I began my career in Product Design with a few early gigs in Mango Concept and Lexody LLC. Mango Concept was another agency, while Lexody was a language learning applicaiton (imagine Tinder for Language learning). After these early gigs I landed my opportunity at Perpetual and I’m here ever since. On a personal note, I enjoy reading fiction, drinking coffee and contemplating on which bagel is better everything or garlic! I’d love to chat over coffee!
