About
I was lucky to have my dad's laptop when I was a kid. Spent a ton of time playing video games, but my real introduction to design was messing around with PowerPoint animations in school. I loved figuring out how to make things move and fit together on a screen, and that early obsession with layouts completely stuck with me.
Later on, got obsessed with photography and cinematics. I loved how a single frame could freeze a feeling, or how lighting could change a whole mood. That love for visual aesthetics and composition never left, it just shifted from camera lenses to digital interfaces.
Naturally, I ended up learning how to code and went for a B.Tech degree. But during my final year, I realized I cared way more about UX choices and people than just pure coding. I found myself focusing on why someone would use a feature and how it actually felt to use it, rather than just writing hidden backend logic.
That's why I love the middle ground of design engineering. I make sure the creative vision never gets lost in the engineering cycle. I design digital products for people, and use code as the medium to bring them to life. I just want to build simple, beautiful digital products that make sense to the people using them.
