Lead Visual Designer
I’m a multidisciplinary UI/UX Visual Designer with deep expertise in branding, and illustration etc. Over the years, I’ve led design for high-impact products across Web3, gaming,fintech, and creator platforms from rebranding Razorpay to launching GTR (a crypto trading platform) and Playota (a global fantasy gaming product), etc.
I specialize in crafting end-to-end experiences: starting from 0→1 product design, building scalable Visuals, developing illustration and icon libraries, and ensuring every visual touchpoint feels consistent, trustworthy, and human. My work often blends cutting-edge technology (AI, Web3, crypto) with visual-heavy storytelling to create products that are not just functional but also emotionally engaging.
Some highlights of my journey:
- GTR.trade: Currently building a seamless crypto trading platform across multiple networks.
- Follows: Designed and launched a Creator-Fi platform on Solana from scratch, where fans can buy, sell, and trade access to creators in real time.
- Playota: Led visual design for a blockchain-powered fantasy sports platform, creating AI-generated characters and immersive visuals for one of my most visually intensive projects.
- Fincent: Extended their modern bookkeeping product with a flexible illustration and component library that humanized complex financial concepts.
- Razorpay: Rebranded the product’s visual identity by designing an illustration library and icon set, ensuring trust and consistency across all touchpoints.
- Before these I spent over 5 years working with leading design agencies across India, gaining diverse experience across industries and building a strong foundation in design.
At my core, I believe design should feel minimal, bold, and intuitive, whether it is a high-trust fintech product or a visually immersive gaming platform.
