About Ashish Goswami

Lead Product Designer at Independent

👋 Hi, I'm Ashish - a fintech & AI product design consultant based in Madrid.

Over 8 years I've led design for a trading platform used by 5 million people, co-designed an LLM-powered investment assistant, built design systems that cut frontend rework by 25%, and grew the first design team at one of India's largest agritech companies. These days I also help SF AI startups design their launches: brand, sites, and motion.

Book a session if you want help with: • Portfolios and case studies — making your work tell a story of outcomes, not screens • Breaking into fintech or AI product design • The mid-career plateau — growing from senior IC into a lead role • Design systems and complex, data-heavy products • Being a founding or solo designer working directly with founders

I've benefited a lot from this community over the years, so I'm glad to give back. Come with a question, leave with a plan.
