Over a decade of experience, I led an IBM-Microsoft partnership to boost digital adoption, optimised Collins Aerospace’s EFF commercial pilot's workflow, and reimagined the Asian Paints Curtains experience using conversational AI to elevate user engagement.
I leverage diverse user research methods and AI-driven UX/UI methodologies while actively contributing to the development and enhancement of design systems.

Open to new opportunities
Product Discovery
I’m passionate about guiding cross-functional teams through product discovery, exploring opportunities, testing ideas, and refining solutions through user research, prototyping, and real-world validation.
Effective Teams
Creating healthy teams starts with the basics, building trust and embracing vulnerability, helping people find their rhythm so they can excel at what they do best, and continuously opening up opportunities for growth.
Cross-collaboration
I don't see design as an end in itself. Instead, I focus on cross-functional collaboration, applying design methods to tackle key business challenges across marketing, product, and engineering.
Craft & Quality
Leveraging real-time feedback and iterative processes to refine interface details to define craft-level collaboration, that includes leaders setting a very high bar, and the whole team building their skillsets of critique, analysis, and exploration.
