About me
Hi, I'm Kapil.
Based in New York City, I’m a product designer with a background in full-stack engineering. My talents lie in imagining and scaling design while working closely with product & engineering. I believe the best design comes from a deep understanding of all it can touch, from engineers to end-users.
If you catch me outside of work, I'm typically taking pictures or on a motorcycle (oftentimes concurrently).
