Kind words

• I first met Aashish at Sketch Brahma, and I’ve had the privilege of continuing to work alongside him at Swivl for the past two years.

  What stands out most about Aashish is his curiosity. He’s always quick to adopt new technologies and constantly experiments with new tools to make the design process faster, simpler, and more accurate. He doesn’t just keep up with change, he leads it.

  He’s an exceptional lead and mentor. His communication is clear, his product knowledge is top-notch, and there’s always something to learn from him. In complex or high-pressure situations, he’s the steady, supportive hand the team can count on.

  Working with Aashish has been a genuinely great experience. I strongly recommend him for any senior or leadership role. Any team would be lucky to have him.

• I worked with Aashish on a project where he was the Lead Product Designer and I was a Senior UX/UI Designer. What I especially appreciated about working with Aashish was the positive and supportive atmosphere he created within the team. Everyone felt comfortable, engaged, and motivated to work on their tasks and deliver them on time. He was always approachable and willing to help — whether it was discussing a design challenge, sharing his perspective, or simply giving thoughtful advice. We could always come to him with questions, ideas, or suggestions for improving our processes, and he was genuinely open to feedback and quick to take action when something could be improved. For me, this is what great leadership looks like: being supportive, approachable, open to feedback, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

  I’m very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Aashish and would be happy to recommend him as a strong leader and a great person to have on any team.

  He is one of the best mentors I’ve had.

About

Engineer to teacher to tech support to designer.

I started as an electronics and communication engineer, drawn to tinkering with computers and software. My first job was teaching hardware and networking. Then I moved into tech support, where customer pain points and complaints landed on my desk every day. I wanted to resolve them, not just log them, so I moved into design.

Design is where I found my work. I love designing and watching what I create come alive: helping people get things done, easing their pain points, solving their problems. Now AI closes the last gap for me. I can polish and publish a product myself, end to end.
