Interaction & UX Designer \ Product \ Research \ Graphics
Kura is what family and friends have always called me, so it is what I build under.
Hi there. I'm Aayush, an interaction and UX designer in Noida. Most of my time goes into working out how a thing should behave, ideally before anyone starts arguing about what colour it is.
I'm not a developer and I won't pretend to be. I design the screens properly, then reach for AI-assisted tooling when something needs to actually exist on the internet. This site is one of those. It means I can hand engineers something buildable and talk to them without a translator.
Off the clock it's F1 on Sundays, football and basketball the rest of the week, and a guitar I keep meaning to practise properly. Otherwise I'm gaming or somewhere deep in a music rabbit hole. Happy to talk about any of it.
What I do
Interaction & UX
Flows, information structure, and the states most specs forget. Research when the answer isn't obvious yet.
UI & visual design
Screens, type and components designed against how they'll get built, not as flat comps.
Graphic design
Posters, layout and art direction. Most of it lives in the archive.

Questions
What hiring managers and clients actually ask.
What are you looking for?
A product or studio team where design owns the problem, not just the screens. Interaction and UX first, with research and UI where the work calls for it. I improve fastest around people who will tell me plainly what isn't working, so a team with a real critique culture matters more to me than a title.
What experience is behind this?
Five years designing, six clients shipped, and six months in-house at Mala-Akbari in Delhi. My degree is in interaction and UX, so the fundamentals came from four years of critique rather than a short course.
Do you code?
I design in Figma and build real sites with AI-assisted tooling. This one runs on Next.js and Sanity. That means engineers get specs that survive contact with a codebase, and I can prototype an idea instead of arguing about it in a meeting. I would join a team to design, not to write production code.
How do you work?
Structure before surface. Flows, states and edge cases get settled while they are still cheap to change, then the visual work has something to sit on. Every project on this site has the reasoning written up next to it, so you can judge the thinking and not just the screens.
When could you start?
Within about two weeks for most roles. I keep a small amount of freelance running, and you will know exactly what is on my plate well before an offer, not after it.
Where do you work from?
Noida, working on IST. Remote and hybrid across Delhi NCR both suit me, and I will relocate for the right role. Tell me the profile and you get a straight answer rather than a maybe.
What do you work in?
Figma and Framer for design and prototyping. Photoshop and Illustrator for print and graphics. Next.js, Sanity and Claude Code when something has to actually ship.
Do you take freelance?
Yes. Send the scope and the deadline and you get a straight answer in two working days, including when I think someone else is the better fit.
How do you price it?
By scope rather than a day rate. A poster set and a multi-week product engagement are not the same unit of work. Tell me what needs to exist and by when, and a number and a timeline come back together.
Do you do graphic design too?
Yes. Posters, layout and art direction. Most of it lives in the archive rather than as case studies, because with print the artefact is the argument.
Why do the case studies look nothing like this site?
Fair catch. They were made under college rules, so they are built to show the reasoning rather than to look good, and every call in them is made for the majority user rather than for my taste. If you came for the taste, it is in the archive and in the albums further down this page.
How fast do you reply?
Within two working days, including when the answer is no.
On repeat
