Rahul Sharma

Product and user experience designer,
leading design at media.net.

Hi, I’m Rahul, based in Mumbai. I take products from first idea to shipped screens, and my engineering background means I design with how things get built in mind.

At media.net I lead a team of four designers shaping native ad experiences. Away from the screen, I shoot and edit Neera Food Lab with my beautiful wife. There’s usually something cooking.

Always up for a conversation about design, side projects, or a good meal.
Drop me a line if you’d like to say hello.
