Hello, I’m Ashish

I love creating products that bring new value to people. I live in the middle of Business, Design, and Technology. I use design thinking to connect the dots in those worlds to help your team create a product that’s valuable, useful, and feasible.

Let’s chat about how I can help you find new product opportunities for your company and supercharge your team to bring them to life!

More About Me

I always have been able to see value through ambiguity — that’s why the realm of going from zero to one for Product is so intriguing. I’ve also been fortunate to learn Engineering and Business at very rigorous levels, as it provides me the tools to communicate and understand those worlds. However, I lean most naturally into creativity and design thinking, using that to create a delightful customer experience that also drives business objectives. I started my career in tech as UX Designer, then into a Product Strategist/Manager/Designer/Builder. I’ve worked on over 20 products ranging from solo founder startups to Fortune 500 companies entering new markets. Healthcare and wellness are a focus (I believe in bringing ‘Wellness back into Healthcare’), but I learn so much and enjoy creating products in all types of industries. It’s exciting to create new things that genuinely help people.

Why did I create Designed Growth?

Designed Growth sprouted from my past experiences helping startups, corporate ventures, and everything in-between make their business ventures come to life. I saw how I thought ‘differently’ than my leaders and colleagues. My creativity and design thinking skills were such an asset at just seeing things in a unique way and connecting dots that created new value. I wanted to bring that as a service and offering for companies to bring into their team to spark new ideas and ultimately deliver that next level of product value for their customers.
