Hey there, I'm Kapil.

I was born in India, grew up in the Go Warriors!Bay Area and Hook 'em.Austin. I now live in Brooklyn, NY.

I'm a product designer with a full-stack engineering background. I design and scale deeply technical products. I frequently own how their stories are told as well.

I reach for AI first when solving a problem. I believe the future of design lives in both artboards and in code.

Currently, I lead design at Fern which recently was acquired by Postman.

I love RavenRavenTriumph Street Triple R and taking photos. Currently Descending (Frue)Sam Wilkes, Dylan Day, Chris Fishman, Thom Gill, Craig WeinribLike ItANOTR, 3DDY, Angel DownDaniel Kraus, and training for Berlin Marathon.
