//ABOUT  —  परिचय

hi, i’m kaustubh. i draw things that have to work.

i started in branding, which is a polite way of saying i spent two years arguing about logos. then i moved into product and found out i liked the constraints more than the freedom.

these days i design fintech: savings, rewards, the boring screens people actually use at 11pm. i still keep the brand instincts around — they’re what makes a flow feel like it was made by someone.

outside work: video games i don’t finish, a film camera i can’t justify, and a growing pile of posters in the archive.

THINGS I BELIEVEविश्वास

the boring screen is the product.

if the empty state, the error and the loading state aren’t designed, nothing else counts.

HOW I WORKतरीका

flows in the morning, type at night. i’d rather show you three rough versions on tuesday than one polished one on friday.
