About
Off-screen.
The things I think about when I'm not designing. The photos, the music, the books, the small obsessions.
Hey, I'm Alok.
I've been designing websites and apps for years, working with startups and small teams to deliver holistic, impactful solutions. With a background in Computer Science, product design has become a fast and flexible part of my work — allowing for efficient projects that contribute to increased visibility and better user experiences. Further I'm driven by a broad interest in creative fields like architecture, photography, branding, and digital products.
So if you're looking for a product designer for fast, high-quality, and distinctive experiences, drop me a mail or reach out via my socials.
