I started in information and communication technology, then spent years at the National
Institute of Design. I still begin with how a system actually works, then design the
experience that makes it usable.
I’m a product designer with four years in product design and more than six across UX/UI
and digital work, closer to eight years if you count the civic, research, and studio
work on my LinkedIn. I lead design at Tcules in Ahmedabad, working with founders,
product teams, and engineers from discovery through delivery.
The work I seek is the kind that looks simple only after someone has sat with the mess:
healthcare marketplaces, building-energy AI, rights platforms, subscription products.
I like problems where the interface is a translation of operations, not a coat of paint.
After Figma Config 2026 I wrote about the thing that actually shifted: the handoff is
being redefined. Designers are working closer to implementation (not becoming
engineers, not being replaced by them) because the product now lives in one system.
That is the work I want to keep doing.
Before Tcules I co-founded a small multidisciplinary practice, designed civic and
environmental graphics (heritage wayfinding in Ahmedabad, a nature-trail signage system
in Dang), and did interface work for the Bahá’í House of Worship in New Delhi. I also
designed identity, website, and wayfinding for Insight 2018, NID’s design-research
symposium. Craft came first. Product thinking grew on top of it.
I’m based in Ahmedabad and open to relocating. If you’re building
something operationally hard and want a designer who will stay in the problem,
write to me.
