About

Hey there! I'm Saurabh, a Product Designer currently based in Bangalore. I've spent 10 years designing for domains where something real is at stake. That context has shaped how I think.

I look for the structural problem underneath the surface one.
I care about whether a solution holds up when the product scales, the team changes, or the original context is long gone.

Design systems is where that instinct lives now. I study them obsessively and I'm currently building one of my own called Arch Design System.

Outside of work, I play video games and spend too much time thinking about how they teach everything without explaining anything.
I keep up with tech through Twitter (yes, I still call it that). I like reading non-fiction. I sometimes organise things compulsively. I cook sometimes, but sadly never from memory.

I'm drawn to good craftsmanship in physical products as much as digital ones, the kind of attention to detail that goes unnoticed.

After 10 years of all this, I have a clear sense of where I do my best work. A team where strong design is a given, not a negotiation. People I can learn from and build with. A place that takes craft seriously and gives designers real influence over what gets built.

If that sounds like your team, I'd love to talk.
