I design and build products.

I’m Vas, a design engineer, product designer and indie maker, working in the full end to end spectrum of digital products from ideation and strategy, all the way to a live product.

Most of the last decade has been inside product teams at Sage, Selfridges, End Clothing, and Rosetta AI.

My building journey

I like to build things so I built a few to solve some problems I had in my workflow. Started off with some Figma plugins like FigQA that helps with stress testing the component builds in Figma before publishing and Varvex which visualises and exports Figma variables to CSS so design tokens stop drifting from the code that consumes them.

I have many ideas I want to build but I did not want to start from scratch on every single one of them, and also wanted to keep a unified and coherent look and feel for them all so I built Eluan, my own design system. It started off as a shadcn-derived opinionated system, changed to StyleX to add more guardrails as with tailwind LLMs tended to drift too much and make assumptions or hallucinate.
It's open source, free to use, easy to customize. Check it out.

So far I launched one product: Remlo, a native MacOS and iOS networked thought app with to-dos and habit tracking incorporated, and am currently building up Riyar, a platform where design decisions, tokens, and assets live. Coming soon.

AFK

When not deep in flows, pixels and code, you can find me outdoors shooting (photos and videos) or sporting (surfing, swimming, cycling).
