About
Open to new roles
Hi, I'm Aashka.
I'm a product designer who designs emotionally and culturally rich interfaces that make complex systems feel simple, human and life-centered.
I started in graphic design and psychology, and now design connected systems, trustworthy AI and bilingual tools. Growing up in India and learning US finance from scratch is why I want to design for advisors and the people they help.
Life-centered, defined
Designing for the whole context of someone's life, not just the moment they're on a screen.
Along the way
Every stop shaped the work.
