Aman Sinha —
Hey, I'm Aman. I deeply care about how everything people interact with looks, feels, and works — and how might we make those interactions more delightful.
Currently, I am a product designer on the mobile and collaboration team at Upwork. I am responsible for designing Upwork’s mobile experiences and enhancing collab surfaces including messaging. Some of my work at Upwork includes executing Dark Mode for iOS and Android apps and enhancing messaging with features like Activity Timeline, Read Receipts, Push Notifications, Contextual Nudges, and more.
​
I hold a master's in Product and Service Innovation from the CMU's Integrated Innovation Institute. At CMU, I have worked in different capacities around products for companies including UPMC, Canon USA, and PLUS. I have also been part of teams winning major international product competitions like the Philips Student Service Design Challenge and McGinnis Venture Competition.
​
Prior to CMU, I was leading product design at Handyland, where I helped build products and services from zero to one for 12+ global clients across Fintech, Edtech, and wellness domains.

I'd love to hear from you and create an impact, together! aman_sinha@icloud.com
