Product Designer who builds | AI-native | Zero to one, repeatedly.

About

I design products end to end and stay until they ship. For the last 3 years I've been the sole designer at Tempo (YC S23), embedded across 5 different client products, enterprise dispatch for airlines, transit planning for cities, a farm operations platform that replaced 7 tools, and AI products I design and build in the same session. I work AI-native. Claude and Cursor are core to how I work, not tools I'm adopting, tools I already use daily. I prototype in code, which means my designs are closer to production than most. Outside of client work I built Clarity, a voice AI journaling app I use every day. It started because I needed it. I have a B.Arch from College of Engineering Trivandrum. Five years learning to think in systems before I ever touched a screen. Currently looking for a founding or early designer role at a company building something worth caring about. melvinjoshy.com
