Product designer, from Kerala — based in Bangalore.
I grew up in Kerala — a place that moves slower than the rest of India, and is quietly better for it. There's something about Kerala's relationship with detail: the way temples are carved, the way food is plated on a banana leaf, the way even a mundane thing is done with a kind of unhurried precision. I think that's where my obsession with craft started — long before I knew what design was.
I moved to Bangalore to work in tech, and never left. The city is chaotic and fast, which turns out to be a good counterweight. It keeps me honest about what actually works — not just what looks good in Figma.
I'm also an Awwwards jury member — which means I spend a non-trivial amount of time evaluating what makes something genuinely excellent on the web, not just visually impressive.
I'm a product designer focused on clarity, craft, and the details most teams skip. Currently leading design at thirtydays.ai, and building hirinly.com on the side — an AI job tracker and resume optimizer.
Building side projects
I build things I want to exist. Hirinly started because job tracking was a mess of spreadsheets and anxiety. Vibe Figma started because I wanted the design workspace to feel less sterile. I like the end-to-end process — research, design, ship, iterate with real users.
Reading
Mostly design, psychology, and business — but the books I remember most are the ones that have nothing to do with any of those. Reading outside your field is where the best ideas come from.
Content creation
I write about design, craft, and the things I notice that most people don't. The act of writing forces precision — you can't hand-wave your way through an argument when it's written down.
Fashion & photography
I style, shoot, and edit. Fashion taught me that constraint breeds creativity — a limited wardrobe forces more interesting combinations than an unlimited one. Photography taught me to see composition and light before I pick up a camera, not after.
Open to the right opportunities — product design roles, consulting, or anything genuinely interesting.
