We pull bold ideas from spark to reality

Each idea takes a purposeful journey — calling at stages that shape it into clear, elegant, and functional interfaces.

Step 1: Journey Mapping

Arriving at user flows, identifying pain points and aligning with business goals — this crucial stop sets the brief and the direction.

Step 2: Conceptualizing

At the junction of form and function, ideas take shape in wireframes and sketches — laying the foundation for the interface.

Step 3: User Testing

A signal check — validating the prototype with real passengers so the path to launch stays clear.

Step 4: Visual Design

Pulling into the last stop — the interface comes to life with colour, typography and layout. On track for development.

ABOUT LOCOMOTIVE

Led by Narayan Gopalan, Locomotive builds on over 14 years of experience in UX and digital design. The journey began in the era of feature phones and CRT monitors — when interfaces were built for buttons, not touch.

Since then, Narayan has embraced technology in all its forms — from typewriters to AI — shaping user experiences across platforms, products, and industries.

Locomotive carries forward that spirit — rooted in curiosity, crafted with clarity, and always moving ideas forward.
