Jersey City, NJ ยท the diffuser is on

Aritro Paul

Product designer. I make things look pretty and work okay. Moving rectangles professionally at Artemis, previously at Autopilot and Pallet.

I live in Jersey City with roommates, ski like the lift closes tomorrow, and keep my apartment smelling like a very expensive spa. Scroll down - there's a thing you can fiddle with.

// the job

Officially: product design. Unofficially: pushing rectangles half a pixel left and calling it a breakthrough.

I design the screens you tap, the flows you forget you ever struggled with, and the empty states nobody reads. I care a great deal about spacing, the exact gray of a divider, and whether a button feels good to press. If something on a product annoys you, statistically it was probably my fault. Sorry about that.

// two things i can't shut up about

Pick one. The whole panel changes color because I have no chill about either of these.

Carving trenches, mostly on purpose

I will absolutely talk your ear off about edge angle, base bevel, and why my skis are stiffer than they need to be. Yes, I tune them myself. No, I am not normal about it.

Discipline
Carving. Long, loud, leaning-way-over carving.
Gear situation
More than one pair. We don't discuss the number.
Hot take
Rear-entry boots were a mistake and I will die on this hill (the carving kind).

// build tonight's vibe

This is roughly how I spend an evening. Pick a scent, set the lighting, choose an activity, and I'll grade your taste.

Tonight

Eucalyptus going, so the apartment smells faintly like a very smug spa, one warm lamp, because the ceiling light is for emergencies only, and you'll do gloriously, defensibly nothing. Frankly? Immaculate. 10/10, the roommates approve.
