About
I'm Subrata — obsessed with the space between design and code.
Currently
Senior Designer · Horizon
San Francisco · Remote
I've been designing and building digital products for about eight years. I love the overlap of craft and code — the moment a carefully chosen type scale, a thoughtful bit of motion, and a clear line of copy come together into something that feels obvious.
Outside of work I walk in the hills, read essays, tinker with camera gear, and write in my journal.
Principles
Things I believe in
Calm by default
Interfaces should feel restrained, honest, and low in noise — respecting the person using them.
Details matter
Typography, motion, and copy aren't finishing touches. They're the product.
Ship small
Small, frequent releases beat grand reveals. I build in public whenever I can.
