My curiosity to build and create began with Computer Science: I could make things work, but felt the absence of the thread connecting people with technology. That search for emotional resonance forged a straight path to the world of experience design, where I now untangle complexity to craft experiences that aren’t just functional, but equally intuitive.
Complete immersion is how I would distill my design process — born of a deep inquisitiveness for the users’ world and the business goals that serve it. By mapping the journey across emotional milestones, I translate what I learn into a design that feels satisfyingly familiar, a quality that ultimately drives business success. True delight sparks in the space where user excitement and business goals converge — a harmony I always strive to achieve.
I believe our lives directly inform how we work, and my own journey has been my greatest teacher. Growing up in India and eventually building foundations across different countries has been the nucleus of my commitment to inclusive design. More candidly, my lived experience as a neurodivergent and queer individual is the fire behind my passion to think and care for diverse communities.
When I am not simplifying business processes or experimenting new Figma features, I like to express myself through photography, piano, and poetry.
