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 RAW, a history of Indian Covert Ops and cooking weird concepts in my design lab.

I have a natural knack for social shenanigans and talking. So far in my 2024 adventure log, I've racked a couple of design talks and a designathon victory.
Honing Design Sensitivity in Non-Designers
Practical takeaways to make cross teams design sensitive; What does design sensitivity mean for an org, why is it important and how to carry the torch as a designer.
FoF Bangalore x Juspay
Design(er) in Progress: Reality checks
My good friend Anirudh and I talked to aspiring designers about theory vs reality of the design industry; When and how to break the mould of principles and processes.

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.
