Gesture Fun Playground
Your webcam as the controller — air-draw, pinch to pop bubbles, an Iron Man repulsor. Designing for an input with no buttons: the interface has to show the machine seeing you.
Available for hard problems
Experience finds the solution.
Twelve years of living inside real problems — finance, operations, business, everyday life. Now I turn what I noticed into working products: I design them, and I build them with AI.

About
Who is doing the work.
I'm Makarand. I spent twelve years in finance before I moved into design as an officer, a consultant and a business owner. That experience taught me how to understand real people, real problems and how products work in the real world.
I'm in Mumbai. I work as a Product Designer at Markets Mojo and co-founded Bunny, an app for financial advisors. I use research, user feedback, and data to guide product decisions. Then I use AI to turn those decisions into working products and prototypes. I don't just hand over screens. I build what I design.
It started early. When I was fourteen, I wired an old CD player into a toy car, with no tutorial and nobody to ask. It didn't work the way I imagined but I had built what I needed and I've been doing a version of that ever since.

1
I've been the user
Twelve years working inside the problems before I ever designed for them. I don't have to commission research to know where a process quietly hurts — I've felt it, and I can name the fix before the first workshop ends.
2
I decide what should exist
The hard part was never making a screen look good. It's judging what deserves to be built at all — weighing the user's real behaviour, the business goal, and what's actually feasible, then choosing.

I finish things
An idea I can't build is an idea I can't test. AI is how I close that gap — I direct it, review every decision, and ship installable products instead of static mockups. This page is one of them.
Selected work
Different domains.
Same method.
One flagship platform, then the range around it — voice, gesture, mobile, systems, regional language. The subject changes; the way I get there doesn't.

BeFM — Be Your Own Fund Manager
Build a strategy from your own rules, test it against ten years of history, then take it live. Designed and built as one working prototype — and it sold the product before a line of production code existed.

Smaller things, shipped at work
Not case studies — internal tools and product decisions built because a team had a problem that week.
For the compliance team
PDF → Word, kept in-house
Compliance was pasting regulated documents into free online converters. I built an internal one that runs on the company machine and uploads nothing.
For the product teamA help layer that stays out of the way
Prominent, but it must not interrupt. I prototyped three answers; the one that separated “seen once” from “always reachable” shipped and is live in the app.
The Lab
Things I built to
answer a question.
Not products — single HTML files that test one interaction idea. Download either one, double-click it, and it runs offline.
Magic Touch
Tap anywhere and something bursts. Built for a child who cannot read yet — so every rule is learned by touching once, and nothing punishes them.
The path here
I didn't switch careers.
I added design to what I already knew.

Got a problem worth solving?
I'm most useful early — when someone still has to decide what to build, not just how it should look.
