I bring 2+ years of experience designing for fintech, govtech, and AI-powered products.

My Story ↓

Growing up in India, I was always fascinated by design and how it could shape people's lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor's in Architecture from NIT Bhopal. Through design competitions and studio work, I developed core skills that still guide my approach today: deep empathy for users, strategic problem-solving, and the ability to prioritize.

With a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Maryland, College Park, I bring that same human-centric approach to digital design. I'm still competing and pushing myself, recently winning XHacks (Carnegie Mellon University) and Usabilathon (Transurban).

I have developed strong skills in user research, prototyping, and user testing. My goal has always been to help align the team around a common vision and ensure that the product is designed with a clear purpose and meets the needs of the target audience.

Things I love ↓

Historical Fiction

Historical Fiction

I unwind with historical fiction - the kind that drops you into another era. I’ve devoured more WWII novels than I can count, and am drawn towards layered plots and complex characters.

Blog & Writing

Blog & Writing

In college I launched a Medium blog to document what I was learning. Writing recaps and project notes deepened my understanding and helped me connect with other designers. I share reflections, case studies, and ideas-in-progress.

My writings have been published at Rethinking the Future and Novatr (Design Journals) as well.
