Monish designs products that turn complexity into confidence.

Product strategy and design.
I take the messy, technical stuff and turn it into something people can actually act on.

Currently: Building an AI Research Copilot for product teams, an AI Bill Explainer for utility customers, and sharing lessons on building alignment through talks - most recently at CalArts.

Three projects I keep coming back to.

Building Oracle's First Business Customer Engagement Platform

I led BCE from discovery through delivery - defining the product strategy, owning the target-state experience, and driving engineering handoff for Oracle Energy & Water's first personalized energy management solution for SMBs.

I led customer research, synthesis, and strategic planning to replace demographic segmentation with behavioral mindsets, aligning stakeholders around a customer-centered vision that informed future digital initiatives and Symetra's first direct-to-consumer life insurance offering.

My design ethos is simple.

Looking across my career, my goal has been to help people understand what's happening, trust the system, and confidently take the next step.
At the end of the day, complexity is inevitable. Confusion isn't.
