Available for new projects
Hi, I'm Anish —
I design & build digital products people love.
A product designer and front-end developer based in Kolkata, turning fuzzy ideas into fast, accessible interfaces. Eight years of shipping — from scrappy startups to design systems used by millions.
01 — About
A designer who codes, and a developer who sweats the details.
I started out making pixel-perfect mockups that nobody could build. So I learned to build them myself. That changed everything — now I prototype in the browser, test with real users, and ship features end to end.
My sweet spot is the messy middle: taking a vague problem, framing it clearly, and delivering an interface that feels obvious in hindsight. I care about performance budgets, keyboard navigation, and copy that reads like a human wrote it.
Outside of work you'll find me bouldering badly, restoring a very old bicycle, and writing about design systems on my newsletter.
02 — Capabilities
What I bring to a team.
Tools change. The habits underneath them — systems thinking, curiosity, and shipping — don't.
