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: fostering 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.

My approach

Lead UX Designer

I was responsible for creating a unified, consistent experience for employee engagement applications to enhance the legacy systems. I focused on delivering a distributed-yet-centralised Design System, providing a set of guidelines, toolkits, and accessible components.
