I make the complicated parts of software make sense, usually the parts nobody wants to own.

I didn't set out to be a designer. I studied English at Amity University in Kolkata, which mostly meant three years of being told to justify every claim I made about a text, a habit that turns out to be strangely useful when you're deciding whether a dashboard's numbers are telling the truth. I backed into this career sideways: writing scripts for e-learning content first, then noticing I cared more about how a module was structured than what it said, then noticing I cared even more about how it looked. By the time I opened Figma properly, in 2019, the pattern was obvious.

I grew up in Asansol, a smaller industrial town a few hours from Kolkata, and I think it shows in what I gravitate toward. Not sleek consumer apps, but the unglamorous back-office tools a business actually runs on: ledgers, permission systems, consoles nobody outside the company will ever see. Somebody has to make those legible. I like being that person.

These days I work primarily in Figma (wireframing, prototyping, building components I can reuse), but I don't stop at the file. I care about hierarchy and accessibility because I've watched both get lost in handoff, and the fastest way I know to stop that happening is to build the thing myself.
