Hi. my name is akshara.

I'm the Investing Design Lead at Capital One located in Seattle, Washington. I am driven to create products and services that make complex ideas accessible to broader audiences. I believe in fostering a culture with a bias for action, diverse perspectives, and positive team dynamics to operationally create the best experience possible for customers.

My tools of choice are Sketch, InVision, Adobe Creative Suite, Zeplin and Omnigraffle. 

I have experience in design strategy, Android & iOS design, interaction design, information architecture, rapid prototyping, people management & coaching, and culture building.

Next, I’d like to continue to explore opportunities that allow me to design experiences for a diverse set of customers at scale. I would like to work in an environment that values diverse teams and a culture that embraces the disagree and commit mindset.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Seattle food and coffee scene. I dabble in hand lettering, calligraphy, illustration, and watercolor. I try to spend as much time as I can outdoors, learning about the vast ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
