🎉 Back to
@DesignUpConf — and somehow, it's a full-circle moment again!
2019 → My first DesignUp, my first company in Bangalore.
2022 & 2023 → Bigbasket days — when I dove headfirst into design systems and built my first color tool.
2025 → Now at Keka, leading system-led initiatives, building tools, and loving every bit of the journey and learning along the way. 🚀
And here's the funny part — every DesignUp I've attended has magically aligned with my career jumps:
🥇 first,
🥉 third, and
💼 fifth company.
What are the odds? It's giving… design pattern energy. 😂
Every time I walk into DesignUp, it feels like stepping into a time capsule that evolves exactly when I do — same spark, new stories, familiar faces. 💛
From 🎨 product design → 🧩 design systems → ⚙️ tool-making, each edition has marked a different phase of my story.
And this one? I'm extra excited — because AI, systems, and design are colliding in ways that feel wild, creative, and just the right amount of chaotic. 🤖✨
If you're attending too — let's catch up over coffee and talk about
🧠 design systems,
⚙️ tooling, and
🤖 how AI is quietly reshaping our creative workflows.
I'll probably be the one geeking out over tokens, tools, or how design is quietly automating itself. 😎☕
