Hi, I’m Raunak - A designer with over 6 years of experience, based in South Goa, India. I work globally with founders, startups, and brands who appreciate good, human-led design.

I take up brand and web development projects with a specialization in motion-first web design and look at web design as an expression of art instead of something purely transactional.

I believe that now in a world of full of AI, human design is what truly makes brands stand out and gives it that personal touch AI cannot provide.

2026

I learnt about how design works and how I can apply my skills in the modern world. Not just how something looks, but why it feels right, how people interact with it, and how it can solve an actual problem.

I started out in graphic design before moving into digital product design. Over the years, I’ve worked with businesses, startups, and individuals across different industries, helping them turn ideas into brands and digital experiences that people can actually connect with.

These days, most of my work sits somewhere between design and development. I enjoy designing a website, but I also enjoy building it. I like understanding the technical side of things because it gives me more control over the final result, from the first idea all the way to the finished website.

This website is probably the closest representation of how I like to work. It's like a place where I can experiment without having to follow a client's brief or a set of rules / constraints.

Everything here is a reflection of what I'm interested in right now, and I expect that to keep changing. I'm still figuring things out.
