Anish Dasgupta — Product Designer
Hi! My name is Anish. I’m a product designer based in San Francisco. Over the last 12 years, I’ve been designing digital products with companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Compass, and have a track record of leading successful design projects with high business impact. My experience includes: - Leading design on a 0-1 product at Microsoft, from strategy and design through shipping/iterations resulting in 600+ enterprise contracts within 9 months of launching - Proactively identifying business opportunities at Compass, driving a self-initiated research project on agent finance management that led to the creation of a new product vertical - Creating the foundational design of the Postman API app as their first product designer, that resulted in the company being able to scale to over 2m users, and go from being a free app to a paid app for teams and businesses - Working in close collaboration with leadership to evolve systems and processes, in particular at Microsoft, where I was frequently involved in getting stakeholder buy-in from partners and executive leadership - Partnering with product and engineering to deliver solutions for problems of large scope, complexity and ambiguity In addition to my design work, I also play music semi-professionally (the violin and piano) and teach a music program for children. This year, apart from going back to grad school, I’m using the time off from work to focus on things that are important to me like spending time with my family, working in queer advocacy as a volunteer at the GLBT museum in San Francisco, and most recently, playing a racket sport called Pickleball!
