I'm Abhinav, a product designer currently at Atlassian. I'm drawn to the quieter, more tangled corners of software: automation, AI, the workflow surfaces doing the heavy lifting nobody sees. The kind of problems that look knotted at first and turn out to have a clear, elegant centre once you sit with them long enough.

I care a lot about pace and presence. Close enough to the work to feel where it's wobbling, and far enough back to ask whether we're solving the right thing. Some of my best decisions have come from a long walk, not a long meeting.

Away from work, I'm easily distracted by anything quietly well-made: buildings, books, small everyday objects most people don't notice. I think a lot about what generative AI is doing to design as a practice, especially what we ship, how we ship it, and what the job even looks like a few years from now.
