About Rupabrata Bhattacharya
I work on interfaces, systems, publications, brands, posters, illustrations, games.
About me
Hey, I'm Rupabrata. My name means “devoted to form”. Function, I picked up later.
I design for every kind of system, whether it's clear, complicated, complex or chaotic.
The story (so) far
From frames of animation to frames of Figma :D
2022
Interned at Trip Creative Services, bringing a folktale from Jharkhand to life in Sohrai-inspired frames: research, animation and direction, almost single-handedly.
2024
Assisted direction on a Gates Foundation-backed short film, and learned how a hundred small decisions make one story.
2025
Then came CEED 2025, All India Rank 63, and a seat in the M.Des at IIT Kanpur.
2025
That's where systems pulled me in. MRI maintenance dashboards, heatwave campaigns, and the cognitive load hiding inside complex work. At Inter IIT Tech Meet 14.0, IIT Kanpur placed 2nd overall, and I competed in two of the events behind it: a silver for an ISRO geospatial interface and a bronze in game design (GDAI) for Cell-O.
2026
Today I'm a UI/UX Design Intern at Innovista Labs, designing AI-powered products, and the Placement Coordinator for my department.
Looking ahead
- Designing for critical systems
- Growing into design leadership
- Building something of my own, eventually
What I bring to the table
Communicating visually, understanding all kinds of systems and the humans in them, and making complexity legible.
Currently studying
- AI-assisted design
- Decision ladders
- Ethical design
