Early 90s

Born in Nagpur 🍊

The Orange City Kid

Born in the orange city. Grew up surrounded by history (RSS HQ, Deekshabhoomi) and community. Nagpur shaped everything about who I am. The pride, the language, the culture—it's all in my DNA. This is where my story starts.

2000s - 2009

School = Games & Dreams

Game Boy Addict

Spent my school years glued to screens. Game Boy Tetris → PS4 → GTA V. Started learning what good design feels like without knowing it was design. Constraints, feedback, smooth controls—games taught me everything.

2015 - 2017

IDC IIT Bombay Magic ✨

The Cult Years

Two years. Changed my life. Late-night design debates that got heated. 4 AM Maggi sessions. Film culture in the auditorium. Long walks on campus where the best ideas happened. Found people who care about pixels as much as I do. This is where I actually became a designer.

2017 - Present

Shipping Real Stuff 🚀

Building Products

Now I design experiences that work. Building design systems, crafting user journeys, obsessing over micro-interactions. Every detail matters. Simple. Clear. Delightful. That's the goal.
