Available for freelance
I'm Akshay Gite.
I execute ideas for a living.
Senior Product Designer. Berlin. 9+ years across Airalo, IKEA, H&M, Husqvarna, and early-stage teams. Currently Founding Designer at OHR.FM.
Work that shipped, not work that pitched.
Selected projects across consumer apps, enterprise tools, AI workflows, IoT, and early-stage products.
For founders, teams & hiring managers
Hire me when the product needs
shape, speed, or sharper judgement.
I'm most useful when a team has enough ambition to move, but not enough structure to move cleanly. I help turn loose ideas, messy flows, unclear positioning, and half-built products into something people can understand, test, and ship.
Founding product design
0→1 flows, MVP definition, prototype direction, interface systems, and early product decisions.
UX/UI redesigns
Sharper journeys, clearer IA, better screens, and cleaner handoff for apps, websites, and SaaS products.
Conversion & growth audits
Onboarding, landing pages, purchase flows, activation loops, and trust gaps that block users from moving.
Workshops & product sprints
Founder alignment, user journeys, product framing, IA, feature scoping, and fast decision-making.
Available for freelance projects, founding design support, and focused product sprints.
AI speeds up the loop.
Judgement still leads.
I use AI where it shortens the distance between idea, prototype, and evidence. The taste, trade-offs, ethics, and product decisions stay human.
PROTOTYPE EARLIER
Prototype earlier
Clickable flows, front-end experiments, and realistic states before the team commits to build.
STRESS-TEST PRODUCT LOGIC
Stress-test product logic
Edge cases, empty states, onboarding paths, acceptance criteria, and variant flows.
EDIT WITH JUDGEMENT
Edit with judgement
AI increases surface area. I narrow the direction, protect the user, and decide what not to ship.
0→1 Product Design
From loose idea to working product.
Conversion & Growth UX
Audits, redesigns, and flows that improve sign-up, purchase, onboarding, or activation.
Design Systems & Workshops
Reusable patterns, sharp decisions, and less theatre.
I'm useful when the product is still moving.
I work across product strategy, UX, UI, systems, prototyping, and the messy middle between founders, users, and engineering. Calm in the noise, fast where it counts, and quiet about it.
