Akash Azad Senior Product Designer

I design and ship digital products end-to-end — from user research and interaction design to production-ready code. If you need someone who can own the full product experience and actually build it, you're in the right place.

Design. Code. Ship.

I'm a product designer who also writes code. I've shipped design systems adopted by 5 engineering teams, redesigned POS software serving 32,000+ restaurants, and built AI-powered SaaS products from a blank canvas to working prototypes — designing in Figma and coding in React/TypeScript in the same sprint.

Most designers hand you a file and disappear. I stay until the product ships, the metrics move, and users stop complaining. I've done it at startup speed and enterprise scale — and I bring a founder's instinct to every engagement because I've been one.

Based in Berlin. Open for full-time, fractional, and contract product design roles — especially at the intersection of AI, B2B SaaS, and complex workflows.

From the founders, engineers, and PMs I've shipped with

"Akash works quickly and thoughtfully. He contributed to the overall direction of the project, and his experience in product design made a noticeable impact in our meetings. His work consistently exceeded expectations and was always delivered on time."

Pablo Benavides

"Akash Azad is one of those rare designers who just gets it. Give him a vague idea and he'll turn it into something polished, intuitive, and genuinely impressive. He combines creativity with clarity, and his attention to detail is on another level."

"Akash was a pleasure to work with at UrbanPiper. As an engineering manager, I loved how he made my developers' lives easier - his designs were always technically feasible and well-thought-out. He'd jump into our sprint planning, understand constraints, and still deliver user experiences that our 32k+ restaurant partners loved. Solid designer, even better teammate."
