About

I’m Ajay Rajankar, a Principal UX/UI Designer with 15+ years of experience shaping enterprise SaaS and real-estate technology products for Fortune 500 teams. I specialize in turning complex, ambiguous business needs into clear interaction models, scalable design systems, and measurable user outcomes—especially in AI-integrated workflows and map/GIS-centric experiences.

I enjoy bridging strategy, research, and craft: running usability testing, building accessible interfaces aligned with WCAG, and improving cross-team execution through strong DesignOps and system thinking. From leading GIS interfaces that reduce field task time to streamlining Figma standards and reducing handoff errors, my goal is always the same—make products easier to use, faster to build, and consistent at scale.

Mixed-Media Calligraphy with Backlit LED Art

Link: https://www.twine.net/signin

This artwork explores the fusion of traditional calligraphic craftsmanship and contemporary lighting design. The piece features meticulously hand-painted lettering created using classical calligraphy techniques, emphasizing expressive strokes, rhythm, and visual balance. To enhance the depth and impact of the composition, the artwork is integrated with a custom-designed backlit LED cutout, creating a striking interplay between light, shadow, and typography.

The project celebrates the timeless beauty of handcrafted script while embracing modern materials and technology. The illuminated elements bring the artwork to life, transforming it from a static visual piece into an immersive installation that changes character under different lighting conditions. Through this blend of fine art, typography, and modern fabrication, the work demonstrates how traditional artistic practices can be reimagined for contemporary spaces, including interiors, exhibitions, commercial environments, and personalized art installations.

Mediums Used: Hand-painted Calligraphy, Acrylic Paints, Custom LED Lighting, Laser-Cut Materials, Mixed Media Installation.

Key Focus Areas: Traditional Calligraphy, Typography Design, Light Art, Mixed Media, Visual Storytelling, Contemporary Art Installation.
