Hi, I’m Aditi. I am a Product Designer.

I am a product designer with more than seven years of work experience in the tech, financial and aeronautic fields. Currently I work at Microsoft on the Azure team, where I’m designing an enterprise cloud platform for developers and optimizing AI Copilot for learning paths. Previously, I led a design team at U.S.Bank to ship multiple business loan applications. I also designed and implemented applications and websites for NASA, Ameriprise and CoFigure.

My education in Human-Computer Interaction (from Carnegie Mellon) and Industrial Design (from California College of the Arts) helps me strategize and define the future of technology.
