UI designer & Type lover
Hello! I am Shankar, and this is my personal corner on the internet. It is an about page, blog, and portfolio rolled into one.
When not day-dreaming at a coffee shop or hanging out with friends, I obsess over typography, lettering compositions, read books, watch TV and cringe when someone uses display type for body text.
Lastly, I'm a UI designer at Google working on Gmail. My job doesn't define me as a person, but I'm thankful for what I have. Again, thanks for visiting, but don't linger too long.
