I'm Ranjith - A UX Enthusiast, web-standards advocate, designer who codes, amateur photographer and a learner for life, and here are my learnings, musings and stumblings ...
I’ve been out of action for quite some time now. Thanks to the gargantuan scale of activities at work! This month truly has been fascinating to me as a designer coder.

Pencil sketching has been my initial way of expressing creativity, right from childhood. This one of my little family just helped me refresh this dormant skill of mine. Done in around 10 hours of time, using ranges of Hard Black pencils, a reference image and with the help of negative space technique.
Byproduct of one of those lighter moments, in the company of my Canon 1100D and some of my partners of crime!

Post acquisition of Macromedia by the monumental Adobe, there has been only one name associated with creative authoring eyegasm! Adobe has been an incessant partner of all creative designers across the [...]
We are in an era of agile methodologies – and UX design process is no exception. Everyday great products see the daylight and every now and then a hero is born in the world of Internet. Still, the ‘Time-Money’ pair remains the best couple ever! Working in an enterprise where billing/time-sheet/revenue rules the roost, and [...]
You probably might be wondering how to make sense out of the title of this post. If you have been through the experience of being a dad in India, and the adventures behind securing a school admission for your little one, this might not come as a surprise to you! For the rest of the [...]
