Akhil Krishnan — Product Manager

Most designers stop at mockups. I ship working products. I'm a Principal Product Designer at Hevo Data, where I lead design for our unified data platform. But I don't just create Figma files and hand them off- I prototype in Framer, use AI-assisted tools like Claude Code, Figma Make and Lovable, and build functional experiences that move from concept to reality in days, not weeks. My approach over 12 years: I think in systems, but I execute fast. Whether it's designing a scalable design system or shipping a complex B2B workflow, I focus on the same question: does this work for real people, and can we actually build it? I've worked across early-stage startups like Hevo Data and Simbian.AI and scaling companies like Clazar, helping teams move from idea to shipped product. I bridge the gap between design and development - designing interfaces, then prototyping and often build it myself. What I'm known for: Design systems that scale - Creating component libraries and design languages that teams can actually use. Rapid prototyping with Framer to move from concept to interactive prototype faster than traditional handoffs. AI-assisted workflows that compress the design-to-development timeline. B2B SaaS expertise - making enterprise tools feel intuitive, not overwhelming. Beyond my day job: As an Official Framer Expert & Partner, I help teams unlock the power of no-code design tools. I also mentor designers on ADPList and Topmate - especially those who want to expand beyond static design files and learn to prototype, vibe code, and ship. I started as a self-taught designer, driven by curiosity about the why and how behind great products. That curiosity still drives me - exploring new tools, pushing workflows, and figuring out how AI can amplify (not replace) the craft of design. Let's connect if: You're building a B2B product and need someone who can design and ship. You want to talk about AI-assisted design, Framer, or design systems. You're a designer looking to level up your technical skills. Always open to collaborating on products that matter.
