About Me

About Me

Sohail Akhtar Product Designer · 9+ yrs

"I don't design for features, I design for outcomes."

By combining Product Strategy, User Research, and User Experience design, I help teams transform complex challenges into intuitive products that reduce friction, increase adoption, and create measurable business value. Working closely with founders, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders, I bridge user needs, business goals, and technical possibilities to build products people trust and rely on.

Validate with real users, then refine.

This is the same loop behind every project below.

Problems I solve

My Product Design Approach

X:01

Observe users

I watch how people actually use products—not how we think they'll use them. Where do they hesitate? Where do they get stuck? That's where the real problem is.

X:02

Identify friction

Every friction point is an opportunity. Confusing flows. Missing information. Unclear next steps. I find what's blocking adoption and retention.

X:03

Design better flows

Then I design—but not in isolation. I balance what users need with what's technically feasible. The solution serves both, not one or the other.

X:03

Measure adoption

Did it work? I measure what matters: Do users adopt it? Do they stay? Do they recommend it? If the answer isn't yes, we iterate.

X:05

Test thoroughly

Validation isn't optional. Every design decision is tested with real users to ensure the solution actually solves the problem we identified.

X:06

Scale with purpose

Once proven, I help scale solutions across teams and platforms while maintaining the design integrity and user focus that made them work.
