Where storytelling meets
user experience

I'm a Senior Video Specialist & Motion Designer turned UX Designer based in Bangalore, India. My background in visual storytelling gives me a unique edge — I see interfaces as narratives, and every interaction as a scene in a story.

For over a decade I crafted motion and video experiences that hooked audiences in seconds. Now I apply that same instinct for attention and engagement to digital product design — obsessing over the small moments that make or break a user's journey.

My writing on Medium has earned a loyal readership across 12 in-depth UX case studies, and my book connects the dots between intuition, friction, and thoughtful design.

The Book

The Psychology of Product Moments

Published Book

The Psychology of
Product Moments

Not a full product review. A deep dive into single features of mature products — the one tap, one signal, one friction point that decides the experience.

10 focused UX case studies from real-world products — Google Chrome, Google Maps, Android Auto, WhatsApp, Rapido, LinkedIn — each one zooming into a specific micro-interaction, feedback cue, or friction moment and analyzing it through the lens of UX psychology.

Most UX books talk about flows and screens. This one talks about moments — and why the smallest interaction often decides everything.

Let's build something
worth experiencing.

Open to freelance projects, full-time roles, and UX collaborations.
