Introduction
Hi Medium,
My name is Sanchit, I am a product designer by trade. I currently work at GoFundMe, and I am the responsible designer for Giving Fund (a new age Donor Advised Fund, if you are a US Donor, check it out). I joined GoFundMe in 2025, before that I worked at MGM Resorts (Yes, the Vegas hotel company with properties like Bellagio, Aria, Comsopolitan) where I redesigned the entire web and mobile experience for guests along with dabbling in AI powered guest concierge. Further back, I was at Walmart and Star. View my work here.
I have been peddling UX UI services since 2015 and that has been the later part of the my career. I have been a designer since 2009 and for the first half of my journey, I delved into industrial design (the OG product design), where I did a variety of work from kitchen products, home goods, packaging design, medical devices, to interiors, architecture, retail design and even a 35m yacht.

Looking back, it has been a journey and an eventful one. I feel fortunate to have been able to impart my fingerprint on so many things both physical and digital which real people use, and in some cases on a daily basis. My 15 year old version would have been proud of me.
On a more personal note, I grew up in the streets of Delhi, India, before moving to Milan, Pune, Bangalore, San Francisco and currently Los Angeles. When someone asks me where I am from, I usually say either India or my current location, but I feel more of an amalgamation of all these amazing places along with all the mountains, beaches, canyons and forests I have been too. That also means, I love being in nature and as I am growing older, I am wanting more of nature than cities. If you’d like to connect, inviting me to a hike or an adventure activity is the easiest way. Apart from this, I love to cook, I make a mean butter chicken, I dabble in painting, gardening, pottery, philately, stock trading, pokemon and backpacking.
Lastly, or most importantly, writing is another thing I have dabbled in. I have written casually over the years, about my experiences, thoughts, opinions and more, but never deliberately, and that is what brings me here. As I write this, I am not exactly sure what this Medium would look like, I don’t have any particular expectations out of this, but my only hope is that it becomes a source of motivation for me to write whatever it may be.
If you are still reading, thank you for being here. I hope you find something for yourself, in my articles.
