The brush became a cursor, the canvas became Figma and the doodles became products — twenty years later, I'm still doing the same thing. Currently obsessing over every pixel at Cricbuzz, Bangalore.
I don't design screens. I design the three seconds before someone decides to stay.
On paper: a CSE grad from Noida who defected to design and never apologized for it.
Since then I've been a founding designer at a startup (designed everything, including the coffee runs), was a part of a 14-member team at Embibe, and freelanced long enough to learn that "small change" is never small.
These days I have a full designer seat of Figma Enterprise at Cricbuzz.
Off-screen, I'm at the gym convincing myself it's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, or on a basketball court breaking ankles. Sometimes mine.
Evenings belong to anime, movies, sketching. I have strong opinions about character arcs, a ranked mental list nobody asked for, and zero interest in your counterarguments.
The system is simple: creativity on weekdays, endorphins on weekends. Mind sharp, body sharper.
Engineering taught me how software works. It never asked how it feels. Four years of algorithms, and the question kept nagging: who's on the other side of this screen?
That question was the exit door. Code is a conversation with a machine — design is a conversation with a person I'll never meet. I know which one I'd rather have.
Now the engineer and the artist split the work: one asks "will it break?", the other asks "will it bore?" When both shut up, the design ships.
The long game: my own design agency — a small team that argues passionately about spacing and makes up by lunch.
The current game: learning from designers better than me, shipping work at a scale that keeps me honest, and proving that products built in India can set the bar, not chase it.
If any of that sounds like your kind of conversation — say hi.
Soft fades between work, play, and passion.
