đź‘‹ I'm Atharva Patil. Usually known by my last name, Patil. Located in Bay Area, CA.
Philosophy. I embody an interdisciplinary philosophy to my craft, trying to break free from myopic barriers set by silos of disciplines. This curiosity has driven me to explore everything, not just visually, but structurally and systemically. Leading me to pick up skills across frontend engineering, business strategy, Artificial Intelligence, etc.
Principles. I believe in shipping over obsessing over perfect design artifacts—progress manifests from making ideas a reality. Rapidly sharing drafts, sketches, and artifacts sparks collaboration and feedback. In turn, driving momentum, turning abstractions into a tangible path. I believe in trusting diverse perspectives and abandoning silos to bridge cooperation.
Offline. After hours, usually found with a book, running, cooking or engaging in a pointless debate with anyone willing. Let's connect, I'm always interested in new ideas & perspectives.
