I'm Rohan, software designer.

In my 5+ years working as a product designer my skills in design, research, and technology have given me a strong POV on diagnosing real-life problems and defining solutions that are computer-driven, functional, and beautiful. To me, the art of creating software is about balance – of Human / Computer, Teammate / Team, Builders / Users. I’m drawn to high powered, talented teams looking to radically change people’s lives for the better.

Reach out. Let’s make intentional, thoughtful software that people actually want to use.

When I'm not building technology you can catch me outside, making music, coding audiovisual art in Touchdesigner, or cooking up a new recipe.

My mindset –

Design as a practice becomes a lightning rod for good ideas. It's collaborative by nature.
In the 21st century, good design is not invisible – it's not only noticed, but celebrated.
Craft can be the differentiator. Getting there first doesn't predicate success.
No technology is neutral. Our environment's tools have become digital tools, and the forms they take are important.
