As a scientist turned product designer, I bring a unique blend of scientific rigor and creative problem-solving to the design table.
I’m a Product Designer who brings a slightly unusual perspective to the table – I started my career as a biomedical research scientist! That background taught me the importance of meticulous observation, data analysis, and constantly questioning assumptions.
My design journey really took off when I co-founded Sentiv, a fitness and wellness app with a mission to make a difference. Building both the mobile and web apps from the ground up – even dipping my toes into front-end coding – was an incredible learning experience. I’ve always been passionate about visual communication, and that passion informs every aspect of my design process - from crafting intuitive user flows to creating compelling visual identities.
While Sentiv didn't achieve its ultimate goals, it ignited my passion for product design and gave me firsthand insight into what it takes to build something meaningful. Now, I’m excited to apply my analytical skills and creative drive to create user-focused products that truly resonate.

Over the last half year Koushik has lead the design efforts for the new Onboarding & Activation (O&A) vision. He helped guide two additional designers and worked closely with PM and clinical partners. He delivered independently with limited guidance - shifting beyond developing feature strategy to larger product level strategy. This work is of strategic importance for Hinge Health, its customers, and members.

Koushik delivered a key feature independently, not only as an independent design lead but also without consistent PM support as he weathered several changes in personnel from kick-off through launch. He stepped into a functional role of greater scope than is typical of our product designers, flagging and investigating issues with engineering, ticketing work that needed to be done, and fielding questions from leadership and cross-functional partners.

Despite being in the design domain, his insights into engineering aspects add a layer of depth to project feasibility discussions. It's like having a design wizard who speaks fluent engineering. The quality of his work is exceptional, making life easier for us engineers. His detailed documentation and thoughtful consideration of edge cases serve as a solid foundation for our projects.
