Hey there 👋 Thanks for stopping by my design blog. My name is Adit, and I'm the Director of Product Design at ServiceNow with a Master's degree in Philosophy (something different, right? 🤓).
When I'm not designing products, I indulge my inner philosopher by running a blog on Indian philosophy.
My journey began as a technology evangelist and python developer, but it was my deep interest in mapping user needs to interfaces that ultimately led me to pursue a career in design.

I hope you enjoy my blog and find value in my insights and experiences.
