What motivates my work

Sometimes, I think back to the 80s and wonder how people imagined GUIs when they barely knew computers. It's amazing to think there were no graphical interfaces back then. Before Steve Jobs showed the world the iPhone, nobody knew things like 'pull-to-refresh.' Before PARC, we didn't have ethernet, the mouse, or OOP.

I believe AI interfaces and interactions are at a similar starting point. I'm on a mission to contribute in making that GUI for AI, the 'pull-to-refresh' moment for UX of AI.

Gradients StudioGradients Studio

Founder · July 2026 - Present

After leaving reAlpha in July 2026, I started building my own products. Gradients Studio is the first: a free mesh gradient generator for product sites, launch posts and decks, where grain is rendered into every 4K export.

  • Designing and building the whole product myself, from the studio's panels and finishes (grain, pixel and dither) to the website.
  • Taking it where people already work: in the browser, as an app inside ChatGPT, and as an MCP server for coding agents.

Head of Design · 2023 - July 2026

I joined reAlpha after its acquisition of Naamche to lead design at the intersection of AI and real estate. My role was to reimagine the path to homeownership and make it simple, human, and powered by AI.

  • I redesigned how people buy homes—simpler, faster, and powered by AI. From the first tour to the final closing, I stripped away friction and made the journey human again.
  • Crafted designs that let AI personalize every step, so the experience felt tailored, not templated.
  • Led a distributed design team to imagine what “AI for Real Estate” looks like five years ahead.
Naamche

Head of Design · 2022 - 2023

I joined Naamche early as a product designer to create user experiences for AI products and build a design team. I built the team, established design processes, revamped core products, and designed MVPs that raised millions.

  • March 2022: I joined Naamche as a Product Designer. I started with design sprints to revamp core products, focusing on setting up design systems and processes.
  • August 2022: Promoted to Design Lead. I expanded my role to include hiring and mentoring designers. I also created a design team OS in Notion, automated hiring pipelines with Zapier, and developed a design career ladder.
  • March 2023: Promoted to Head of Design. I'm currently working on a product that uses AI to help people buy their dream home without paying any commission.
Esfera

Co-founder, Design · 2020 - 2022

My two college friends and I founded Esfera, a design and marketing agency. Over two years, we collaborated with various clients to build their brands, apps, websites, and market them from the ground up.

  • January 2020: we launched Esfera with the goal of becoming the largest design agency in South Asia within next five years.
  • March 2022: we co-founders decided to sunset Esfera. Baibhav, our CTO, joined Roam Research to work on tools for thought. Shristi, our CEO, went to Iowa State University to study Human-Computer Interaction. I joined Naamche to pursue my passion for product design, focusing on the intersection of AI and design.
