What I do
Product design
End-to-end UX and UI, from user stories and flows to wireframes and polished screens ready for handoff.
Design systems
Shared components and foundations built with developers and PMs. My last system cut delivery time by 20%.
Fintech & dashboards
Accounting, expense management and admin tools where dense data needs a calm, readable structure.
Smart-device interfaces
Control interfaces for connected devices, designed so the right action is always one obvious tap away.
Research & interaction
User research, interaction studies, and the micro-interaction and animation specs that make a product feel finished.
Illustration
Icons, illustrations and visual assets for websites, social media and marketing.
About
I came to UX through computer science and graphic design, and I still think with both.
I studied Computer Science & Engineering at Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering, co-founded a small graphic design studio, and have spent the last five years designing products for fintech, insurance, healthcare and smart-device teams. Today I design edge computing software at Armada.
Outside work I'm a petrolhead and a desktop-customisation geek. I like learning whatever tool a problem needs.
