Dragoon
I'm a hands-on multidisciplinary designer, 2x founder, design engineer, leader with 6+ years of experience who partners with ambitious founders/teams to shape brands, products, platforms, and systems that actually work and grow. I've scaled ventures to millions of users, helped founders raise millions in funding,
and built teams from the ground up.
I currently run MainArc, an independent AI research practice studying taste, AI fluency, craft and design judgment as the new moat for product teams. I publish a research series, ship open-source tooling for creative work, and run experiments on agentic interfaces. I vibecode constantly. To date, I've designed, built, and shipped 100+ projects, tools, and apps, most without an engineer in the loop. Real users, real use cases.
Previously, I was Strategic Design Partner and Founding Member at Framelabs in San Francisco, where I built Vector, the internal margin system that governed pricing, scope, and forecasting across the studio. To see more of my work, impact, and role, open these two tabs → Projects・Work
I co-founded Hexorial, a bootstrapped design tech company that builds tools on Figma and Adobe and scaled to 1.3M+ users with zero marketing spend. It was the first Indian company backed by both the Figma Creator Fund and the Adobe Design Fund. I also co-founded Huetale, a small creative studio that exited via acquisition.
Earlier, I was the early design hire at Polygon when it was still called Matic Network. Then Head of Design at DefiDollar, where I helped grow an ETH Global hackathon project into a multichain DeFi lab at $250M+ TVL. After that, founding Head of Design at Hubble Exchange, a perpetuals DEX on Avalanche that drove $150M+ in cumulative trading volume.
Across in-house roles and advisory work, the teams I've worked with have reached $500M+ in TVL and raised $15M+ from top-tier investors. For me, designing and shipping have become the same thing.
If you’d like help, want to explore my work, or collaborate, let’s talk. about me ( in depth )・ design advisory・design philosophy & values・operating manual・talks・tools・github・photography・testimonials・music ・Here's writing where I write notes on design, ai, product, life experiences, reflections, and building things. Everything comes from learnings, curation, and years of experience.
If you're building something ambitious, reach out.
