Now
I’m contributing to the UX of a free software desktop app — my first non-web project in years — and exploring ideas with Lovable Shipped. My newsletter is back, possibly going weekly! I’m learning hydroponics to grow my own lunch greens, and trying to spend less time on my phone and more time offline with people. 01 Jun 2025
Collaborate
I mentor designers, jam with builders, and enjoy conversations where I listen to how others build, learn, and stay motivated. I help with product thinking, design process, and strategy. I also run focused workshops and offer design feedback when useful. You can reach out through Topmate or ADPList. If you’re in Bangalore, I’d be glad to meet in person. [email protected]
