About Me

Sohum who?

Built and shipped 3 products across the App Store and Google Play, taking them from problem discovery and product design through architecture, AI-assisted development, monetisation and launch.

Working end to end taught me how to design around real platform limits, technical trade-offs, security, payments, distribution and what actually happens after a product ships.

“Sohum is extremely smart, capable and most of all, vocal, a trait to be admired in anyone who claims to be an advocate for users in the murky field of product design. He brings with him bright, innovative ideas and a zeal to do things differently and has been instrumental in crafting delightful interfaces that are both functional as well as disruptive. He has been a pleasure to work with and would make a great addition to any product team that wants to do things differently but do them right.”

“Sohum has been a great student in the 2024-2025 cohort in the Master Digital Design programme. He approaches design with both empathy and a big-picture mindset. Beyond his creative and technical skills, he is an authentic individual and genuine character. He brings a grounded, fun, energetic yet reflective presence to every team, showing not only strong skills in teamwork, strategy, planning, and problem-solving, but also an inspiring ability to stay true to himself. I’m sure he’ll bring value wherever he chooses to go next.”
