About

I design products that actually work.


Not just visually elegant, but products that solve real problems, feel completely natural to use, and can be built by developers without compromise. There’s a difference between a product users tolerate and one they love.


After 13 years, from pre-product startups to Paytm during demonetisation, from Innovaccer to Frog, one of the world’s most respected design studios, I’ve built a practice around one thing: making the invisible architecture of great products visible, and buildable.


Research and synthesis are where the real work happens for me, not the final screens. I use AI where it actually accelerates the work, not as a catchphrase, but as a precision instrument.


If you’re building something that needs to feel as good as it works, let’s talk.
