Type Design

Alongside product design, I maintain a strong interest in type design, Contributing open-source Devanagari and Latin typefaces through the Google Fonts community and publishing work through MagicType.


Design Approach

My approach to design combines systems thinking, typography, and visual language to create digital products that are not only functional but also coherent, expressive, and human.
