About Me

Turning friction
into flow.

I'm a UX Designer with 5+ years of product design experience and 11+ years in visual and motion storytelling. Currently at IDrive India, contributing visual designs.

I design user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes — and turn research into clarity. I've conducted usability reviews, built and shipped micro-interactions.

Beyond the job title: I've written and published a UX book, shipped one Android app to the Play Store as a non-coder, and write regularly on Medium about the psychology of design.

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.

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