hi, I am Yase

Ziro,

Dear reader,

I am an interaction designer from Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, with more than five years of designing software.

Four of those years were at Rocketlane, which I joined as the 11th person, before the product launched. Then I studied interaction design at CIID, where my thesis, Heritage Remix, was nominated for the UX Design Awards 2026.

Now I take on freelance product work and build Lega, a design tool that thinks with you, not for you, with two others. I am also exploring how food from Ziro and nearby places could be valued more fairly.

Learn more about me, or see how we can work together.
