To whom I may soon concern,
Hi,
I'm Akhil Ram, a Product Designer with 8+ years (5+3) of experience designing thoughtful products across web and mobile. I am looking for opportunities.
So why hire me?
Because I already care.
About your users, your team,
And what we’ll build there.
So why hire me?
I've danced through startups, twenty and more,
Wore every hat, from floor to core.
Designer by craft, but not by cage,
I write, I pitch, I build the stage.
So why hire me?
I’ve led with heart, designed with speed,
And chased not trends, but actual need.
So why hire me?
Give me a spark and I’ll light the way,
I am someone with a PM’s mind, and a founder’s soul,
waiting for it to rhyme?
then give me a dime!
So why hire me ?
Motion, strategy, growth, and grit.
I may or may not fit in, but I surely commit.
So why hire me ?
I am always up
To learn, to lead, to clean the mess.
When gaps appear?, to fill the space.
So why hire me ?
I was not trained in code, yet I shipped a site.
I was was not schooled in decks, but pitched it right.
From posters, pitches, sprints, and decks,
To GTM plans and payroll checks. ( This line was GPT, it's true though)
So why hire me ?
I’ve built from scratch, and scaled what’s small,
I've worn every hat, and answered every call.
Design? I’ve led. PM? I’ve been.
Biz dev? I’ve sold before I've seen. ( Honestly I had to see before I sell, but ChatGPT and I prioritised the Rhyme scheme)
So why hire me?
Give me a tool, I’ll learn it fast.
And if I fail? It's okay I learnt it fast. (Cringe ? hehe)
I’ve worked with founders, closed some down,
Shipped and failed, but didn't let anyone down.
From theatre lights to startup nights,
I move with instinct, ship with might.
So why hire me?
Not ‘cause I fit the mold.
But because I bend it, break it bold.
If the world needs more than just a cog —
You’re at the right place my dear log. (log is people in Hindi, I had to rhyme it)
I identify myself as a passionate individual capable of doing many things in the corporate realm.
I’ve worked with 20+ start-ups across industries, often wearing multiple hats at once: product designer, systems thinker, motion artist, brand builder, accidental PM, and frequent fire-put-outer. I’ve helped early-stage teams find clarity, scale fast, and look good while doing it (I've been told my grey hair looks good on me).
My work spans SaaS tools, internal platforms, marketing sites, onboarding flows, design systems, and the not-so-glamorous boring stuff that holds it together.
My passion lies in solving real problems with design (and of course in films) by making things look good, and work better.
I'm proficient in tools like Figma, Webflow, Framer and Adobe Creative Suite, and I love collaborating with engineers, PMs, and founders to bring ideas to life. I'm comfortable building and evolving design systems, running user interviews, prototyping rapidly, and adapting as things shift.
I can work alone, I can work with AI, the poem above is an example!
I wrote more about my journey as a generalist in this Medium blog (Without AI to keep it personal):
