Hi, I'm Ankit!
A product designer with 5+ years of experience creating exceptional user experiences for US-based clients across financial services, retail, consumer products and now travel. At Publicis Sapient I designed for brands like Citibank, Lakmé India, and Albertsons, and built a design system for a staffing & HR platform — juggling everything from core product work to pitch decks, newsletter designs, anniversary graphics, and motion-graphic hiring videos for LinkedIn.
Today I’m a Product Designer at United Airlines, working in aviation and mentoring new-grad designers along the way.
Sounds boring?
My story:
I’m an engineer turned designer who derives his UX analogies from football. Want to hear my take on where design and football overlap? Ping me and let’s get on a call!
In college I knew almost nothing about design — until I discovered UX, and it genuinely changed my life. I think of design as my true calling, not just a career. I really believe the sky’s the limit for anyone with the right mindset and the work ethic to back it up.
Outside work, I’ve been deep into aquascaping for nearly three years — there’s something about designing a living underwater landscape that scratches the exact same itch as designing a good interface (balance, flow, patience, and a lot of iterating). I’m also a proud dog dad to Mojo, my clumsy fawn Labrador who taught me the real meaning of empathy. I love travelling to reconnect with people and nature away from screens, and I read a lot of self-motivation and real business stories.
FYI: I’m a massive CR7 fan and try to bring his winning mindset, work ethic, and professionalism into my craft and to my team.
