I untangle problems into products. The is just fun.

A product designer who engineers, currently working at Kumba AI.

Three years into product design, I still enjoy figuring out how something can look better and work better. Before Kumba AI, I was at One Card Solution, working on products for Nerolac. Before that, I worked with Osos Web on Spaarks.

My path into products started with one cold DM. It turned into building CarAdvice.in in WordPress for FasBeam, automotive creator Faisal Khan. I didn’t know Figma existed yet, so the site was designed and built in the same place. Being a petrolhead, that was a pretty good place to start.

I like looking beyond just the design. I want to understand the user, the business, and what we are trying to achieve. Then I try to figure out where I can bring value through design and technology.

I believe UX comes first. There is always a real person on the other side of what we build, and understanding that person is something you have to do yourself. AI can help us explore ideas, make things faster, and even build a lot of what we imagine. But I don't think AI will truly understand people the way people understand people.

And then there is taste. You can use AI to make almost anything today, but knowing what looks right, what feels right, what to keep, what to remove, and what makes something worth remembering is a different thing. I don't think AI will master that anytime soon. Maybe not even in 100 years.
