Lila Games Battle Pass

MY ROLE

MY ROLE
Founding Designer
Jee Prep App
JEE students don't lack content — every app gives them more. What nobody gave them was a way to know where they actually stand. This app was designed around that one missing answer.

001
DECISION
I keep removing until something breaks. That's how I know what actually needed to be there. If the user has to think about what to do next, I haven't finished.
002
OWNERSHIP
If I designed the flow, I own what happens inside it. Not just the happy path. The weird edge case at 2am too.
003
CONSTRAINTS
Give me less time and I'll make fewer wrong decisions. Constraints force you to find the one journey that matters and protect it. Everything else can wait.
004
GROWTH
I watch where people pause, where they tap twice, where they give up. That's the real feedback. Every version I ship is just my best understanding so far.

THE SHORT VERSION
Who’s Behind the Pixels
As a kid, the one thing I was good at, the one thing people noticed, was sketching. That instinct never left, it just grew up. Founding designer for two products from zero taught me more than any classroom ever could. Still curious like it is day one.
