Hello, I’m Harsh.
I help teams turn big ideas into products people love.
I’m a product design leader with 19+ years of experience mentoring and managing designers, leading UX strategy, and driving impactful products across fintech, AI, and SaaS.
In past roles, I led and managed design teams, supported designers’ growth, and collaborated cross-functionally to improve workflows and business outcomes.
Currently, I work with product, engineering, and leadership to align design with company priorities, shape roadmaps, and ensure UX decisions balance user needs with business goals. My focus is on bringing clarity to decision-making, scaling design impact, and transforming complex challenges into simple, effective solutions.
