About

Hey, I’m Utkarsh 👋 If you’re here, chances are you’re building something and care about good design, the kind that actually moves the needle, not just looks pretty. That’s exactly what I love working on. I’ve spent the last few years designing everything from digital products to Framer websites to full brand identities. I am the designer behind a YC-backed SaaS startup’s $0 → $20M journey, and along the way picked up a few recognitions like 5+ national design awards, including Runner-Up at Adobe Designathon ’24. My work mostly lives at the intersection of clarity, craft, and scale whether that’s shaping B2B products, building clean websites or bringing a new brand to life. But outside of design, I’m usually playing cards with friends, chasing random adventures, or happily doing nothing at all. If you’re a founder, startup or team looking to level up your design, I’d love to chat. Contact: work@utkarshdesign.com
