I grew up in Jaipur, the Pink City, and I've spent the last 6+ years designing and building products with early-stage startups and established teams. A lot of my work has been about making complex things easier to understand and use.
I like being involved in the whole process, from understanding the problem and why it matters to figuring out how it should work and sweating the small details. I value speed, but not at the cost of good craft.
I think the best software is the kind you don't have to figure out. Thoughtful details and intuitive interactions make complex things feel simple, without getting in the way of what you're trying to do.
As a self-taught designer, I also owe a lot to people who share what they know, whether through open-source projects, thoughtful writing, or tools that make someone else's work a little easier. I have a lot of respect for people who give back, and I hope to do more of that myself.
Outside design, I'm into films, philosophy, travel, and coffee.
