Experience

Lead Product Designer (Founding Designer) CodeRabbit · Bengaluru

Built the design practice at CodeRabbit from scratch — from managing contractors on design systems to leading a team of designers and design engineers across India, Germany, the UK, and the US.

  • Set up the carrot-ui design system, de-duplicating components across web surfaces — cut the CSS bundle ~40% and JS ~15% (–300KB), improving LCP ~10%.
  • Designed the CodeRabbit IDE extensions (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf) — 174K installs, accounting for 11% of cumulative review traffic and 6% of paid conversions.
  • Redesigned onboarding around newly identified "aha" moments and extended it into a wizard for integrating CodeRabbit into critical workflows — >50% lift in repo connection, ~14% lift in first-time sample reviews launched.
  • Built core tooling for repository management, analytics, review configuration, RBAC, audit logs, seat management, billing, and account management.
  • Designed the Planner’s chat UI and real-time steering mechanics (thinking traces, voice input) and the Slackbot agent that enriches its context — shift-left automation from issue tracker to coding plan.

Product Designer Adobe Design · Bengaluru

Two flagship charters — PLG growth experiments on Illustrator, then ad-tech workflow design for the AdCloud DSP — turning creative-tool and ad-spend complexity into measurable lift.

  • Ran >12 PLG experiments (A/B tested with data science) on cross-sell and inter-app operability across Creative Cloud, improving feature discoverability and stickiness.
  • Designed CTV and display-ad targeting workflows and funnel-assessment dashboards for Adobe’s DSP — the CTV product attributed >$800M in ad spend.
  • Led strategy and design for Creative 2.0, a self-serve CMS for continuous dynamic ad delivery across languages and geos without campaign duplication.
