Product Designer for B2B SaaS

After 10+ years in SaaS, I kept seeing the same pattern. Helpful products that rocketed past market-fit would buckle under the pressure of growth. They all expected new outcomes from old ways of working and an old product.

I help build measurable product experiences for sustainable business growth. You'll hire a product designer who's worked with 25+ teams including Deputy, SafetyCulture, and ReachOut where 100k+ users are impacted each month.

Map the journey.
Find the gaps.

Measure the fix.
Find the next unlock.

Working with Akash was a genuine partnership. He consistently pushed us to think deeper about the problem, not just the solution, and helped build lasting design capability within the team.

Akash brought clarity to complex problem spaces and helped align product, design, and engineering around well-reasoned solutions. I would happily work with Akash again and strongly recommend him as a strategic design partner.

Akash is particularly strong at bringing people together, creating alignment across teams, and making collaboration feel natural and energising. What sets Akash apart is how he connects great design to real business outcomes.

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Wiradyuri people, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future and extends our respect to all First Nations Peoples in Wagga Wagga.

I recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing connection with the land and rivers. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Wiradyuri and First Nations communities.
