Coworkers at Ramp / Summer 2026
Agents are doing more work on peoples behalf, but their work is done in a black box.
I shipped a flexible pattern for reviewing work that an agent has done and scaled it across all of Ramp’s surfaces.

Bento / Shipped 2026
Prototyping can feel like drowning in a mess of sliders.
I built Bento: an organizational framework for code controls that lives in your agentic IDE. SVSD finalist out of 800 people.
Minimapping in Roblox Studio / Summer 2025
Game creators waste hours travelling across their worlds and often lose track of where things are in large projects
I led 0→1 design of various new tools to improve traversal, spatial awareness, and collaboration for 12M+ Builders.
RevisionDojo (YC F’24) / Fall 2025
Every year, millions lose sleep planning for the IB and SAT. I designed an easy, organized, and fun way to plan and study.
At Dojo, I led design across product, web and art direction to ship the mobile app to 500k students in one month.
Intact / Fall 2024
I led an end-to-end vision for insurance quoting in 2030 for the largest provider in Canada and pitched to the VP.
My ideas for product strategy and redesigned flows were implemented into Intact’s roadmap!
Connecting through happy accidents / Concept 2024
Digital relationships are easier to maintain than ever but this often impacts motivation to meet new people face-to-face.
While digital connection is positive, it’s not a substitute. I designed Bump to reduce anxiety of meeting new people.
See the world in bright color ~
I’m Keyan. I like to spend my time being excited by life and bringing excitement to people. This takes form as exciting teammates through stories and visions. It also takes form in giving people more time to enjoy their lives.
I’m interested in creating a world that is a joy to live in.
In my work and life I most value thoughtfulness, articulation, and making. Right now, I’m making a board game.

Q&A (Writing!!)

Thoughtfulness
Understanding is the real work. It is much easier to think, articulate and build when you can see clearly.
Being able to break down a problem and make sense of a complicated system is important.
I think I’m growing a sense for when I understand something well and when I don’t. When I don’t understand something well, it helps to articulate it.
Articulation
If you can’t explain something, you don’t understand it well enough. I like to write, talk to people, and get grilled by robots. Once you understand something, you can articulate it to others.
Designers are communicators at their core. Storytelling is incredibly valuable, and it’s fun too! I enjoy working on things end-to-end and I love to see people light up and become engaged with my ideas.
Engagement is how an idea gets built.
Building
I build my ideas early and openly. And I make lots of them. It’s easier to communicate that way.
Ideas don’t need to be correct or perfect. But they do need to be in people’s hands. A wrong answer is a signal for the right direction and a stage for feedback.
Leah taught me that feedback is a gift.

I am not an engineer.
If prompting makes you an engineer then speaking makes you a politician.
Becoming an amazing engineer takes a huge amount of time and effort that should be respected. It’s rude for designers to slip on their title like a cheap pair of sliders.
Worse than that, we discount the unreal potential that a masterful designer has. Designers and artists should be the ones to shape our world.
That being said, a designer who can code, like for real, is invaluable to any team. I study the fundamentals of engineering because it makes me a better designer. And if I do choose to lean towards engineering, I can wear the title proudly.
