Hello there, my name is Saish Lad👋🏻

I’m a Product Designer blending my Developer and HCI backgrounds.

Developer by night!

Designer by day!

Where it all began

Finding creativity within constraints.

I grew up reimagining toys instead of just playing with them — curious about how things worked and how they could work better.


That same curiosity with gadgets and computers led me straight into Electronics Engineering.

Clarity on my calling

Reverse-engineered life to debug what
I really wanted!

What started as curiosity in code grew into a desire to shape human experiences. An aptitude test confirmed it, and I followed that spark to Indiana University for an MS in HCI.


There, from design leaders I learned how to see the person behind the screen, not just the clicks. I learned how to turn human quirks, needs, and habits into design strategies that make products feel natural and meaningful.

The present

Now, I’m excited for the next opportunity.

I believe design has the power to influence our emotions, behaviors, and connections in subtle yet profound ways.


To create these positive outcomes, I’m always learning and evolving — guided by a framework I created around grit, which helps me consistently deliver meaningful results.

What's GRIT?

And of course, there’s more to it — the part that makes me, Me.
