Akash Datta — Co-Founder
Does this sound like your situation? Your product worked when you had 50 customers. Now you have 5,000 and the cracks are showing - onboarding is confusing, features compete with each other, and your team is shipping faster than the experience can keep up. That's where I come in. I'm the founder of Design by Drops, a UX strategy studio that helps scaling tech companies untangle product complexity. My wife and I work with scaleups on focused 4-6 week engagements. Exact steps on how we build focus: → A free 1-hour discovery call where I diagnose the problem (not pitch you) → A UX audit that maps your actual customer journey against what you think it is → A prioritised backlog your team or our studio can execute immediately Before starting the studio, I spent 10+ years as a product designer at scaleups including SafetyCulture, ReachOut Australia, and Pet Circle - scaling products used by millions. I've seen the scaling mess from the inside. If your product has outgrown its design, hit me up!
