Arpit Maheshwari

Founding Product Designer · AI & Data Products

I design the trust layer of AI products — the surface where a person decides to act on the model. Fifteen years designing the half-second where a person decides to believe a machine.

What the people I've worked with say

Over the past four years at Talon, Arpit has been instrumental in shaping four distinct products from the ground up. His user-focused designs are remarkably intuitive yet adept at handling complex workflows… If you need a designer who excels at combining strategic vision with practical execution, Arpit is the person to call.
Anant East · CTO at Talon Outdoor

Arpit consistently demonstrated exceptional speed, creativity, and attention to detail… What stood out most was his ability to present multiple design options along with clear pros and cons, which made it much easier for different stakeholders to make informed decisions and align quickly.
