Form follows function -
that has been misunderstood.
Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.
- Frank Llyod Wright
The philosophy holds true for design as well, I believe. Functionality and aesthetics are often treated as discrete qualities, while the truth is they work in harmony to deliver the product experience. A good design functions well, whereas a great design is an experience built around this harmony.

Hello there 👋
I am a product designer based in Bengaluru, India with 7+ years of experience in
designing for digital products. Adding delight and beauty to functional products is what gives me joy and
excitement in the process. Over these years I have gradually transitioned from a graphic designer into a
product designer, which helped me gain better perspectives on problem solving through visual thinking.
Apart from design I love doing art, trying new musical instruments, going for short hikes & cycling.

Tools I use
I started off at a time, where Photoshop and Illustrator were the only tools available for UI design. Now we have many disciplines in design and tons of tools for those. It's always exciting to learn and get along with new methods and tools. Notes, Miro, Photoshop, Illustrator, After effects, Figma, Visual Studio Code etc are tools I depend on for brainstorming, visualising and a little bit of coding.
