About

Hey hi! 👋🙂 I’m a Product(UX) Designer who blends design system thinking with strong accessibility and technical depth. Currently, I’m helping modernize and scale the o9 platform’s Design System and Accessibility framework, improving inclusive experiences for global enterprise users. Over the years, I’ve led projects from the ground up—some designed from scratch, others redesigned for scale. I’ve built design SOPs, mentored peers on inclusive design, and supported teams whenever I could share something valuable. I believe the design process isn’t rigid—it should adapt to the context, priority, and people behind the project. For me, it’s about researching just enough → designing → prototyping → testing early → shipping → refining continuously based on feedback and outcomes. Outside work, you’ll find me: 🌀 Cycling ✍️ Hosting DesignersTalk — my self-initiated podcast where designers share real-world insights. 💡 Writing and documenting lessons on accessibility, collaboration, and design systems. 🌏 Exploring how thoughtful UX can shape business outcomes — not just interfaces. ✈️ Travelling solo to gain new perspectives and enjoy raw experiences. 💻 Doing some vibe coding and experimenting with new tools or workflows. Always learning, always curious — because growth never really stops. ✨ For new opportunities or a quick chat, drop me a DM on LinkedIn or email me at akashuxer@gmail.com
