Software Designer II at Flipkart, ex Juspay

I design usable & less boring softwares. My forte lies in communication, helping teams identify the right problems to solve at the right time.

I obsessively doodle everything in sight on paper, mostly for fun, sometimes to clear my mind. People say my laughter tends to echo, so you know how to spot me in a crowd. I'm also a bit of a neat freak, at times.

Grew up in Jabalpur, an Indian town nestled by rivers. So, a lot of my core memories revolve around taking impromptu dips in the ghats of Narmada.

As of now I'm reading "Animal Farm" and "1984" by George Orwell and painting animated frames on my insta.

Mobility Designathon: Third place

Moved pixels for 3 hrs straight to solve for multimodal mobility in metro cities. Got a good pro tip: don't be too practical, add some magic beans in every solution.

LottieFiles x Hub

I like to cook unusual concepts in my design lab. At times they are practical, most times just experimental.

Name your spaces

What if you could name your MacOS spaces to redefine and reorganise focus?

Homescreen, a reflection of you

Mobile homescreen but messy and unorganised.. like your room or your mind?

Figma workspace with grouped files

Imagine Figma's file becoming a mini workspace encompassing all the jams, designs, and documents related to that file. Something smaller than projects but bigger than just a file.

Widgets, but handier

Edit widgets from the widget area itself, instead of going all the way to the app

A huge part of my personality is a rather unusual habit of starting and ending my days with scribbles and sketches, here's a sneak peek into my sketch universe..

My bookshelves are a very honest reflection of my personality - diverse and colorful. I like to scatter my books around the house so I can hop between different worlds. It's a bit random, but I enjoy the variety.

Wall of interesting stuff by some amazing people I found on internet..
