Hey! I’m Rigved and I believe in solving problems by asking the right questions.
I'm a designer based in Denver, United States. With over 5 years of experience, I have led impactful design projects across diverse industries. Notably, I worked at Radix, the world's second-largest domain registry, designed an identity for Google and rebranded OnlyDomains, a $35 million internet company. Last summer, I contributed to enhancing browser usability, onboarding, and colour strategy for Coinbase Wallet.
My experience in product, visual, brand, and motion design has taught me to approach design holistically, from both product and marketing perspectives. I recently graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with an M.A. in Graphic Design & Visual Experience. I'm currently working as a Product Designer at Ria.
Experience
2016 — 2017
My first job was as a Visual Designer at Radix where I supported the company's marketing efforts and designed brand identities, digital ad campaigns, marketing schwag, posters, booth backdrops, t-shirts, emailers, business cards, brochures and landing pages. After a year, I quit this job as I wanted more say in the design strategy.
2017 — 2019
I freelanced with clients from the USA, Dubai, London, India and Australia on projects ranging from brand identities, social media campaigns to social media filters, motion ads and environmental graphics. During this time, I had to constantly push myself to do better so that I can attract better work through my portfolio.
2019 — 2020
I moved to Singapore to work in the country's leading branding agency called Bravo. My experience here taught me about the business side of design, how pitch decks are made, how agencies work with different clients, and how to collaborate with external resources. After a successful year, I left Singapore because of the pandemic in 2020.
2020 — 2021
I worked on 2 rebrands which CentralNic had acquired for over $70 million. Although the projects were successful, I had an epiphany. I was creating visual design for brands from a marketing perspective. For my design to be more effective, I must fully understand how products work to craft experiences that are fully considered. That's how I decided to pursue my master's!
2021 — 2023
A master's program in the US after working in the industry for 5 years challenged me in unimaginable ways which allowed me to learn and unlearn. In the summer of 2022, I worked at Coinbase as a Product Design Intern in a design team of more than 150 individuals. I contributed to enhancing browser usability, onboarding, and colour strategy for Coinbase Wallet.

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR — DOL
I saw Rigved’s work online and loved it. His design, style and sense of humour seemed perfect for our project. We worked remotely and it was flawless. He’s a true professional. Developed concepts, multiple executions and really unique type and motion graphic solutions. He works fast and across shared Keynote, just like our agency. We’ve already done a second project with Rigved and there will be more. I can’t say enough good things!
