Akshat Prasad — Product Designer
I have 7 years of experience with a Master of Design in Interaction Design from California College of the Arts and a background in electronics and communication engineering. Apart from expertise in the design process, I'm also an expert in using no-code platforms to launch websites and apps - Webflow, Framer and FlutterFlow. My most recent venture has been with an early-stage seed funded fintech company, Zugo, where I launched 3 crucial products within 4 months (B2B + B2B2C) by wearing hats of a Product Designer as well as Head of Design. As an interaction designer at Rangam, I collaborated with pharmaceutical clients, boosting registrations by 41% through UX improvements. Achieving AA certification for accessibility (WCAG and ADA compliant), I advocated for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) principles throughout the organization. Previously, I worked at Digbi Health, a healthcare startup, where I concentrated on enhancing the application's interactive features. My focus ranged from physical kit experiences to refining the onboarding process and optimizing SEO on platforms such as Play/App Store. During my tenure, I increased mobile app sign-ups by 21% in less than 3 months. Prior to my role at Digbi Health, I participated in a fellowship project with Google, focusing on the "Future of Belonging". I engineered and designed 3 immersive experiences (physical, digital & hybrid) aimed at fostering connections among individuals. If you catch me outside of work, I love playing guitar and learning boxing at the moment! I experiment with night-time long exposure shots and wildlife photography. I also like meeting new people over a cup of coffee.
