Myles Ashitey

I came to product design through creative strategy at TikTok and Universal Music Group. I liked it, but missed the making process, the feeling of building a concept from an idea into something tangible. That led me to an MFA in Design and Technology at Parsons, which I completed in 2026.

My thesis became Fresh Greens, a React Native wayfinding prototype for Black drivers. For UnderstandingFAFSA, I built reusable newsletter templates. The first redesigned send had an observed 52.6% open rate with Mailchimp Privacy Protection excluded. At TikTok, I designed three catalog templates. Light Academia entered the launch library, and I later learned through Global Creative Lab that American Eagle selected it.

Outside of work, I'm a huge comic fan. Highly recommend Absolute Batman and, if you're a fantasy nerd, Absolute Wonder Woman as well. I've also been trying to hike more, as much as the city and my allergies allow. If you want to talk product design, RPGs, or a bit of both, my email is below.
