A biography

Ujjwal
Kumar.

I lead a team inside Apple's Human Interface group. We work on system surfaces — the typography, the motion, the language of touch — and on the practices that hold a design organization together over time.

Before Apple I designed payment products at Square, and before that I ran a one-person studio out of a small room in Brooklyn.
