I don't like fitting in a box, call it neurodivergence, or Peter Pan syndrome, I don't care about any of it. I am just here to make something beautiful, do good work, and strive for the truth.

I am just here to make something beautiful, do good work, and always strive for the truth.

2016 - 2020

I was preparing to become an engineer

Like every other kid in India, I also studied for engineering examinations. It taught me a lot about failure, about having the right intent, about the value of self knowledge.

2020 - 2023

But, ended up studying psychology instead

I anyways was procrastinating on my preparation by reading philosophy & self-help books, why not make that an everyday reality?

2021 - 2022

Stumbled into design by writing a letter

I wrote a letter to Iz & Johnny Harris explaining how I think they could improve Bright Trip's website. Later, I realised what I did was a UX project, and the letter is actually called a design case study.

2022 - 2023

Decided to go all in & enrolled myself in a bootcamp

Experiencing how alive I felt by something so simple, I enrolled in a UX/UI bootcamp by Onething Design & Masters Union

2023 - 2026

Ended up working with those who taught me

Onething Design had a deal; be the top 1% of the class and we will hire you as our intern.

What I keep coming back to
"Every design problem begins with an effort to achieve fitness between two entities: the form in question and its context. The form is the solution to the problem; the context defines the problem." ~ Christopher Alexander

On J. Krishnamurti

He was groomed from childhood to be a World Teacher with thousands of followers across the globe. Then, at the height of it all, he walked away. This is about what he did next

Loneliness is aloneness misunderstood

One already knows what loneliness feels like. What we might not know is that the way we are thinking about it could be exactly what's making it worse.
