Design & Learning - 3D Interactive
During the 2020 lockdown, I invested significant time in mastering 3D design and animation in Blender, taking advantage of the extra time spent at home. I realized that I could extend my 3D skills into web and app design, creating more engaging product designs with no-code interactive technologies. As a result, I'm now learning to integrate 3D and interactive tech seamlessly into my product design journey. Here's an example of a Polaroid camera I recently created in Blender, along with an interactive web design using Spline and Webflow.

Design & Learning - RIVE
Exploring animation has introduced me to more advanced tools that I'm currently learning and integrating into my product design journey. One such tool is RIVE, which combines elements of Figma and After Effects, renowned for its state machine technology. This allows for innovative implementation of interactive animated products on app and web platforms. Here’s an example of an interactive animation I created using RIVE, featuring hover and click interactions, embedded on a Framer site.

Home Music Studio
Since childhood, I’ve had a deep interest in music, playing keyboard in local bands across West Bengal. As an adult, I continued this passion, learning guitar and bass. I set up a small home studio in my Bangalore home, where I now craft new cover songs and work on my own compositions.
PhonePe's Unofficial band - Dessert Station
I discovered talented musicians at PhonePe and collaborated with them for jam sessions. I was also fortunate to set up PhonePe's unofficial band, Dessert Station, with Rajesh, our Chief Fun Officer. We host musical events on our 7th Floor, where I create set lists and craft backing tracks, allowing me to perform live on stage with the electric guitar while others sing along with the tracks I've created.
