Hello! My name is Anshu, I’m a principal product designer & a yogi based out of San Francisco.
Currently, I’m leading the generative AI squad at Yahoo Mail. Before that, I led product design initiatives at Sprinklr.

Dream. Create. Build. Ship. Repeat.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to engage with a broad spectrum of products - My journey started with a cool little startup gig, where I played a pivotal role in its transformation into a unicorn.
Right now, I'm diving into a long-standing legacy product that's been around for ages. My game plan? I want to break it down and level it up using AI and design, piece by piece.
Here's a glimpse of a few of the most recent projects I've brought to life. 🚀 🚀
