about

i'm aashish — a product designer from kathmandu, nepal. i keep coming back to contrast: humans and computers, the messy and the simple, what people feel and what we actually build.

design is where i get to sit with those and make some sense of them. i started out making comics on the internet, cold emailed my way into a design internship, and have been chasing the craft ever since.

i used to think design was an independent function and leaned more into form than function. i've since come around: form follows function, and real design is the result of product clarity and solving business outcomes. i talk a lot about the small details that quietly add up, having fun with it, and doing the work. daft punk.
