I'm a designer who has spent the last nine years shaping the ambient visual language of mobile lock screens.

I joined Glance as an intern and grew into a Design Manager role, shipping wallpapers and visual experiences that live on hundreds of millions of phones across India and beyond.

Wallpapers are a strangely demanding medium: a single vertical frame, no sequence, no sound, and only a few seconds before someone unlocks their phone. That constraint taught me more about taste, hierarchy, composition, and visual economy than almost anything else I've done.

Along the way, I led a 24-person design team through an AI upskilling framework and became deeply interested in the question underneath it:

“What does graphic design look like when the tools start thinking back?”

This portfolio is my answer to that question. Built from scratch, every piece here is new work: brand systems, posters, illustrations, 3D studies, motion graphics, typography, and AI-assisted visual experiments. It explores where a generalist designer's craft meets generative tools.

The wallpapers were the training. This is what comes next.

I think of myself as a designer who vibe codes, a manager who still pushes pixels, and a generalist who feels most alive in the overlap between design, AI, motion, 3D, and visual storytelling.

If you're working at the intersection of design, AI, and craft — I'd love to talk.
