Hi, I’m Abhishek Kannekanti—most people call me Abhi.

I’m a product designer with over 10 years of experience, having worked at companies like Google, Salesforce, and Keka.com, where I was the founding designer. Over the years, I’ve led design initiatives across AI-powered platforms, enterprise tools, and fast-scaling startups—always with a focus on clarity, empathy, and impact.

I believe great design starts with patience: to listen deeply, empathize sincerely, synthesize clearly, iterate fearlessly, and tell stories with purpose. Combined with craft and care, these skills help turn ideas into experiences that resonate.

To me, the best products aren’t just tools—they should behave like thoughtful companions: anticipating your needs, adapting with you, and sometimes even surprising you.

I’m passionate about collaborating on ambitious challenges that demand strategic thinking, user-centered methodologies, and a relentless drive for craft and usability. My focus lies in building interfaces that are not only functional but meaningful, delightful, and deeply human.

When I'm not on my Designer cape, you might find me:

• Directing shortfilms

• Capturing photos

• Editing videos

• Sketching abstract art

• Experimenting with new recipes

• Dreaming about sci-fi tech becoming real

I’m currently based in San Francisco, California, originally from the vibrant city of Hyderabad, India.
