The long
way round

Five stops between a computer science degree and designing for growth.

  1. 2020

    Learning in public

    A B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, then design took over. I designed daily social posts and print for Casper Academy, and taught UI/UX to beginners on Superprof.

    One Blender render a day for 50 days, a 100-day design challenge, and a stray dot in some CSS that cost me a ₹6,000 course.

    Kochi, and the big stage

    Two years at Hexnode: the marketing website, A/B test pages, the HexCon22 event site and its design system, and the brand video for MWC Barcelona 2023.

  3. 2023

    Running the room

    At CloudEagle.ai I went from designer to running design: a team of four, a design system before they joined, decks with the CEO, and about 80 blog posts a month with no AI image tools.

  4. 2025

    Brand meets performance

    A hiring assignment at BiteSpeed turned into the job a week later. Now I design pages and ads with numbers attached: CTR up 50%, cost per demo down 50%.
