About Aagreet Sinha
Where I'm from
I'm from Patna, Bihar. My father was a bank manager in a rural bank and my mother managed our home, so I grew up around conversations about responsibility, money, and practical decisions.
Bihar has a way of keeping you grounded — strong traditions, long history, and a quiet emphasis on discipline. Many of my early memories are of simple routines and local festivals, and the idea that progress comes from consistency more than luck.
What I do now
I design software for the messy middle of B2B products — cloud governance tools, audit workflows, design systems. Problems where the data is complex, the edge cases are endless, and the user is a professional with no patience for poor UX.
What energizes me most: problems that don't have an obvious design answer. Where I have to understand the full system before I can design the interface. Where shipping the wrong thing would genuinely hurt people's workflows.
I currently do contract design work with Open UI. Before that, I was the first designer at MontyCloud — built their design system from zero and owned product design for WAFR audit tooling, reporting dashboards, and cloud governance workflows across a 2-person design team.
How I work
SEEK — to learn
Start with the problem, not the solution. Talk to users, read the data, understand the constraint.
FRAME — to understand
Turn what you learned into a clear problem statement. This is where most projects go wrong — skipping straight to solutions.
ACT — to shape
Make something real. A sketch, a prototype, a working component. Something you can put in front of a person.
ITERATE — to evolve
Ship, observe, adjust. The first version is never the right one. The second one usually is.
What I'm looking for
- Meaningful, long-term work
- Small teams with real ownership
- People who care about clarity and craft
- Problems worth thinking deeply about
And a life designed with intention, not default choices.
What I used to do
I started as a software engineer writing Java for large enterprise systems. It was logical and stable, but I was more curious about the "why" behind features than the code itself.
That curiosity pulled me into content and storytelling for a while. Working in fintech taught me how clarity and trust shape decisions.
Design eventually felt like the meeting point of both worlds. I moved fully into product design, working with startups and SaaS teams on complex tools and workflows.
That's where I feel most at home.
Outside of work
I watch films — mostly the kind that linger. I read in my library, document what I'm learning in notes, and train.
I tend to go deep into things that interest me — refining small routines and systems that make everyday life a little sharper. Cooking from scratch, journaling to think clearly, the occasional slow morning.
I travel when I can. Currently working toward visiting all 12 Jyotirlings — 3 down. I'm drawn to old temples, history, and understanding spirituality in my own way. Also gradually moving toward a plant-based lifestyle.
