"He (Arish) brings a rare mix of UX craft and systems thinking that’s critical for cybersecurity products. "
Arish was a wonderful hire as we expanded our team into India. He brings a rare mix of UX craft and systems thinking that’s critical for cybersecurity products. He had to act autonomously while working out of a satellite office, and showed he could operate in a challenging, ambiguous environment, taking full ownership from problem definition through to delivery.
He brought a fresh perspective to each project, and challenged assumptions. Instead of just drawing up the requirements, he researched the user journey and jobs to be done, and elevated the team's shared understanding. His communication skills are also exceptional, which is important when bridging a US team with India.
If you're looking for someone with drive and talent, that everyone will enjoy working with, Arish is your guy!

Arish has a great ability to understand our unique user's needs and translate them into visually appealing designs with first-class userability. What makes Arish stand out for me is his constant commitment to best-practice. He thinks deeply about his designs and researches competitors and academia before executing. Even at an expert level he is always learning, keeping up to date with the latest technology, design trends and techniques.
In addition to their technical skills, Arish is a pleasure to work with. He has a positive, professional attitude, excellent communication skills, and pushes hard to meet deadlines.

"Arish is the kind of mentor who fundamentally changes how you think as a designer. He helped me move beyond execution and focus on problem-solving, clarity, and impact. "
His guidance improved not only my design skills but also how I approach complex challenges. It played a key role in helping me grow early in my career and access better opportunities. Despite his experience, he remains incredibly humble and approachable. He invests in people, supports their growth, and consistently pushes them to do their best work.
He gave me direction at many stages where clarity mattered most. It made me realize how powerful the right guidance can be, and how deeply mentorship can shape both your mindset and your trajectory. 🙏

Throughout my career, I've taken on responsibilities beyond design - from shaping product priorities and managing stakeholders to working directly with engineers on difficult trade-offs and delivery decisions.
I've also built and mentored design teams, established customer research practices, and taken on product management responsibilities when needed. I believe great design leadership means taking accountability for the entire outcome, not just the design.
