Hello!
‍
I’m Aakanksha.
I’m a Product Designer based in San Francisco.

I'm currently designing Playground, an image generation and editing tool.

Before that I designed autonomous ride-sharing experiences and desktop-based visualization tools at Cruise.

And before that I worked on Uber's help, safety and engagement features for riders.

When not working, I enjoy playing with 3D design tools, walking around in San Francisco and thinking (mostly about pizza and donuts).
