Hi, I’m Aryan Deopa. A product designer, curious about how businesses are put together. What they’re actually selling, and why one product moves the number and the next doesn’t.

Most of that thinking ends up inside a Figma file that’s grown far larger than it needed to be.

Outside of it, I’m the guy more intrigued by how a film was made than the film itself.

Who shot it. Why that lens. Why they cut there. I’ve been doing this since long before I knew it was a job.

I like having people around. But when it’s time to actually build the thing, it’s headphones on, one album front to back, same album all week.

That’s usually what decides how the thing ends up looking.

Rest of me is not that deep.

Barcelona, which I got into at the right time and haven’t recovered from.

Still gaming, and not planning to grow out of it.

A shelf of things that do their job worse than my phone does.

Weekday evening, back row, empty hall.

Recently started cooking. Still early.
