About
Cinematic Editor, Graphic Designer & Web Developer
Kartik Saxena is a cinematic video editor, graphic designer and web developer based in India. He is the founder and lead creative of Da Design, where editing, design, front-end development and AI agent work run as a single pipeline rather than as separate services, so a project moves from first frame to shipped site without a handoff between specialists.
I am based in India, working to Asia/Kolkata (GMT+5:30). Open for new projects.
How I work
Most creative work fails in the gaps between specialists. The editor does not know what the thumbnail promised; the developer receives a design nobody can build; the brief gets re-explained three times and loses something each time.
So at Da Design the four disciplines run as one pipeline rather than four services. The person cutting the footage is the person designing the thumbnail and shipping the site. Design earns the click, editing holds the attention, the site converts it, and agents follow up so nothing leaks afterwards.
What I do
- Cinematic video editing - Raw footage turned into high-retention cinematic narratives through pacing, colour science and sound design.
- Graphic and thumbnail design - Brand identity systems, high-CTR YouTube thumbnails and marketing collateral built to earn the click.
- UI/UX and front-end web development - Bespoke React and Next.js platforms, SaaS interfaces, client portals and interactive tools built for speed.
- AI agents and automation - LLM agents wired into an existing CRUD app so it reads the record, picks the right tool, does the task and checks its own work.

Why I write
Every post in the blog starts as a problem that cost me real time on real work - a build that failed with a useless error, a page a search engine refused to index, an agent that called the wrong tool. I write up what actually fixed it, with the code, because that is the post I wanted to find when I was stuck.
If something I have written is wrong or has gone out of date, tell me and I will correct it and date the correction.
