beyond the grid.

Outside the world of pixels and product thinking, I come alive through sketching, painting, and soaking in new places. Creativity has always been my way of understanding the world—whether through a pencil or a stylus.

Recently relocated from Kerala to Dubai with my wife and baby, life now blends parenthood, travel, and great food. Art, family, and adventure keep me grounded—and constantly inspire the way I design.

Based in Kerala with my family, I enjoy exploring new destinations with my wife or solo, seeking out delicious food and vibrant experiences.

My travels are also fueled by a passion for art creation, so I always pack sketching or digital tools to capture inspiration along the way.
