About ( Sambit )
Founding product designer
Hi there, I’m Sambit.
I design AI-native products from 0 to 1. I’m the founding product designer at CotonAI, an enterprise agentic AI fashion platform. I also designed Trailhead Solve at Salesforce.
I started in fashion design and spent four years at Gap Inc. (Drapr, YC W20) shipping 3D Fit and AI workflows used 120M+ times. My real obsession is building tools: systems that help people create faster, make better decisions, and turn messy ideas into usable products.
