I design AI products and the design systems that ship them
Seven years and about thirty shipped products across payments, gaming and AI. Right now I lead design for 6labs.ai, an AI gameplay-analytics platform that twelve game studios pay to use, and I keep the design systems behind four products honest.
01 Selected work
Six things I would show you first.
Real screens, real numbers, and the decisions behind them. Each one opens a full case study.

AI-native workflow
4 skills · 3 plugins · 10 peopleThe Figma-to-code round trip my team actually uses every day.
02 How I work
Three habits that survive the third PM.
Metric before screen.
I don't open Figma until I can name the number a screen moves and the person it serves, in one sentence. nowStudio cut publishing from days to a single session because that was the brief, not the layout.
System before screens.
Tokens, themes and primitives first. Float runs four products from one parent library, so a new surface gets designed in days and stays consistent after I leave the room.
The prototype is the spec.
I build in code with AI agents and Figma plugins as a second pair of hands. Real interactions, real tokens. 6labs.ai was designed this way end to end, and this page was too.

Gurugram, IN · 28.46°N04 About
Engineering background, design fluency, gamer's patience.
I studied computer science, then spent seven years learning to make software people actually want to use. I sit closest to engineering and analytics, the seam between what gets built and what gets measured, and I would rather ship something honest than describe something perfect.
I have led design solo on 0 → 1 products and across teams on 1 → N ones, presented to founders, mentored junior designers, and kept a design system alive across four products and five designers. HFI Certified Usability Analyst, B.Tech in Computer Science.
