Product designer, nine years. I designed across Tata Neu, one of India's largest super apps, and now design government services used by millions of Indians.
Every screen quietly chooses its users. If a form needs fast internet, perfect English and ten taps, it has decided that people without those don't matter. Most teams never notice they made that choice. I make it on purpose, so the answer is everyone.
The interface decides who a product is actually for. Why that is a decision and not a style
Three choices decide whether Meena can use this form.
Meena gives up.
The form is in English only. Meena cannot read it, so she never starts.
Also shipped: the Tata Motors Virtual Showroom, the Qmin food app, SpeedLabs, and the Rapid Visas websites.
2020 to 2025, consumer scale
I designed almost every screen of the super app, then built its design system: the shared kit of parts that keeps every screen looking and working like one product. It powered a major relaunch, then grew into food delivery, fashion, grocery and festival seasons.
2025 to present, nation scale
I now take many separate government platforms and turn them into one simple system that works for everyone: old phones, weak networks, people with little practice online. I cannot name the client. The work asks for that. The named work above is why you can believe this line.
Talk is easy. So this site follows its own rule: it is small, it is fast, and it works on a cheap phone with bad internet.
You are seeing the standard view. Custom fonts, photos and gentle motion, all kept light on purpose.
Engineer by training, designer by instinct since I was fourteen. Consumer work taught me how dozens of services become one screen people keep coming back to. Government work taught me how a form must behave for someone using the internet for the first time. Most careers teach one of those. I got both.
Working with me looks like this: I build design systems, untangle confusing flows, and turn sprawling products into one simple system. Simple is not the same as plain. A simple interface can and should be beautiful.

Design is the job. Building is how I make sure the design ships.

Designed and coded by me. It is small, fast and works on a cheap phone, and the measurements are public.
