Product Designer, 11 years deep - now shipping what I design.
I build design systems, shape core product experiences, and use AI-first workflows to go from concept to production. Currently at Hevo Data.

Zephr: built for early teams who care about craft
A design framework I built from scratch, so early-stage teams can ship aesthetically polished product UI without the overhead of a full design system.
From Early-Stage to Enterprise
From Early-Stage to Enterprise
From Early-Stage to Enterprise
A little about me
From zero-to-one builds to scaling enterprise products.
I've spent 11 years building product foundations - design systems, component libraries, and core experiences that teams ship on top of. I've shaped the design language for Hevo, Clazar, Simbian.AI, and MessagePlus, some from scratch, some to help them scale.
I work AI-first. Most of my projects start in Claude, not Figma. I use Claude Code to build and maintain design systems, prototype working UIs, and run UX research workflows. Figma comes in when precision matters — variables, components, visual refinement. The result: fewer handoffs, faster iteration, and design that's closer to production from day one.
11 Years
Designing and shipping products across B2B SaaS, AI, cybersecurity, and data infrastructure.
5+ Companies
From early-stage startups to enterprise platforms. Led an 8-member design team at Hevo.

Akhil worked closely with us at MessagePlus across multiple projects — from designing the core product experience from scratch to helping with our website and marketing materials like pitch decks. He’s thoughtful, fast, and always focused on making things clearer and easier for users. What stood out the most was how easy it was to work with him — no fluff, just solid design thinking and reliable execution. He asks the right questions, understands the business context quickly, and brings clarity to ambiguous problems. Whether it was a tight deadline or a last-minute iteration, we could always count on Akhil to deliver without compromising on quality.
