Built with AI, code, and curiosity
Experiments I coded with AI-assisted tools, to prototype ideas quickly, explore new interaction patterns, and learn by building.

I built this product from scratch, solving AI consistency, Gemini model, and API challenges through rapid iteration and testing to successfully launch it as a free product.

I acted as the QA and polish layer correcting broken HSL logic, resolving slider interaction bugs, and locking down layout shifts.

While the AI generated the code, I directed the design identity: defining the energy-state color logic, selecting typography, and orchestrating the physics-based hover states.

Hi, I’m Durva!
I’ve always been drawn to art and making things. That curiosity led me to industrial design, but the more I designed, the more interested I became in how people experienced what I made. That’s what brought me to interaction design.
Over the past four years, I’ve designed across enterprise tools, AI products, and consumer experiences. Along the way, I’ve learned to look beyond the interface, question my assumptions, and solve the problem, not just the screen. I enjoy the messy, undefined parts of design, where there’s room to explore, experiment, and figure things out.
I’ve been painting since I was three, and I still think like an artist. It’s taught me to see past the obvious and care about how something feels. What I enjoy most about design is bringing ideas to life and seeing them connect with people.
Right now, I’m focused on sharpening my craft, growing as a strategic thinker, and figuring out how AI can make products genuinely more useful without losing the human part.
Three words my friends use to describe me: bold, thoughtful, creative. And pani puri
A crisp little shell that bursts with sweet, tangy, spicy water., if they’re allowed four.
