Hey, I’m Dharmeesh., 21, a developer and co-founder at @knockturnals_ .
I recently left my job because I wanted to build something of my own and work more closely with founders and business owners.
Most of the projects I work on sit between design and development.
A founder may come with an early idea, a website that is not converting, a product that feels difficult to use, or a process that is still being managed manually.
My job is to understand what is actually going wrong, bring clarity to the direction, and help turn it into a useful digital experience.
That could be a website, a product, a simple manual process that takes forever for them to automate.
I just care a lot about thinking behind the work just as much as the final interface.
At @knockturnals_ , we are open to working with founders and teams on design and development projects.
If you are building something and need a thoughtful partner to help shape or build it, my DMs are open.
Founders don't need prettier dashboards.
They need dashboards that make them feel in control.
This one does that by:
- Showing net balance prominently (am i healthy?)
- Separating savings vs operating cash (do i have runway?)
- Visualizing cashflow trends (am i growing or shrinking?)
- Listing recent transactions (what actually happened?)
Every element answers a question founders ask constantly.
Design that serves business = Design that gets used.
"Genuinely very glad we found you" 👀
This hit different coming from a client today.
In a market full of promises, consistency wins every time.
Quality isn't negotiable, delivery is everything.
if you're building something important, it matters who
you work with.
Not just with Designs, even our Developers are there to taking the game to next level.

It’s been 7 days that I am building @knockturnals_ in public and it’s been amazing.
Trying new things, figuring out what’s working and what’s not and it’s been incredible experience so far. 26 new followers, 28k+ Impressions and lot more is surely a small win but that motivates me to work hard and not to give up.
Honestly, I realise my mistakes that I did last year and been working on it now. The consistency that I am working on should now keep going.
Working on client projects, finding new clients along with being consistent on X requires incredible efforts.
These 7 days taught me a lot and there’s no way we are stopping here. Thank you so much everyone for being there and who are going to be there in future 🙏🏻
Designing email UI is complex, yet fun.
You’ve got to pay attention to every little detail - and that’s where ChatGPT comes in.
Just drop the image, ask for honest feedback, and it’ll point out what’s missing or off.
Saves a ton of time and helps you get it right, faster.
Observation: working offline once in a while is kinda fun actually.
we attended a meeting, got some solid work done, and even recorded ourselves (which is tricky when people are staring at you all the time)
but hear me out, it made me weirdly more focused. not sure why, but it worked.
back to recording and building in public (literally lol)
