Stories. Systems. Strategy.

Hi, I'm Aakanksha Marulkar,
a designer working at the intersection of AI,
business strategy, and user experiences.

Strategic Designer · New York

Deliberate
by design.

With two master's degrees and time spent across fast-paced AI startups as well as large enterprise teams, I know how design decisions land differently depending on the room. I design digital products that are intuitive on day one and built to scale beyond it.
