Intro: Utkarsh Dhairya Panwar

Transcript

Hi, I'm Utkarsh. That's me, drawing in thin air with a tool I built. Here's how I got there.

In 2021, I walked into IIT Roorkee to study engineering. Four years later, I walked out as a designer.

Somewhere in between, design stopped being a hobby. I shipped work for 10+ teams before I graduated.

I led the brand for E-Summit, from bus stops to the main stage, and picked up national design wins along the way.

Then I joined CodeAnt AI, a YC-backed startup, as its founding designer. I designed the website, the brand, the product, and watched it grow from zero to a sixty million dollar valuation.

I became an official Framer Expert. In 2026, I joined the Awwwards Young Jury. And then went back to IIT Roorkee to judge and to talk about design.

But my favourite work happens after hours. Things you don't just look at, things you play with: Mitti, a pottery wheel you shape with your bare hands. A piano that turns typing into posters. Particles that follow your fingers.

Plus Chrome extensions, Figma plugins, games, a desktop pet, posters and a lot more.

Off screen, I'm chasing mountains, drums and open sky.

I'm Utkarsh. Let's make something people love to use.
