About

Atul Chhabra

Entrepreneur. Designer. Futurist.

Ex Samsung, NID · Building things that matter.

Passionate UX Designer and entrepreneur with a track record of building companies and products at the intersection of design and technology. I've led design for next-generation devices at Samsung, pioneered AR/VR experiences, and founded multiple ventures.

I founded Designerrs, training 5,000+ designers across 15+ countries, and scaled it to USD 1M+ in a bootstrapped format. Currently building AI-native products through Commonsans and a stealth AI startup.

I believe in thinking slowly, building deliberately, and shipping with intention. This site is a living record of my work, writing, and experiments.
