I'm a product designer from a small town in Gujarat who was supposed to be a mechanical engineer.
That didn't work out. Somewhere between surviving thermodynamics and watching YouTube tutorials at 2am, I fell in love with making things look and work better. A friend asked me to design posters for a college symposium. I said yes, opened Figma, and never went back to engineering.
Five years later, I've designed clinical intelligence platforms, fantasy sports apps, AI health tools, and everything in between. I build design systems, I prototype in code, I ship products. I've worked with founders, engineers, and AI tools to take ideas from napkin sketch to 2,000 users in a week.
I'm not the guy who learned design at a fancy school. I'm the guy who figured it out by doing.
