I never studied design. I am an Engineer, that too a nerdy one from one of the badass schools in India. Contrary to the stereotypes which tag engineers as monotonous and boring, my profession has the creative side to it. I am a Product Designer working for Zeta.

While I have a decent sense of visuals (I mean, I know which pair of shoes to wear with which T-Shirt etc. 😂 ), I am more of an interaction designer, i.e. the guy who brainstorms, builds product features, creates UI flows, analyses user behaviour etc.

Well, I do illustrate when I need to, but I haven’t reached the level where I can stretch my neck and call myself an — ‘Illustrator’ (I am improving).

However, I can handle Adobe Illustrator well. I am also aware of most of the tricks it has up its sleeve and I can comfortably draw simple, icon-like illustrations which are functional.
