Pixel-obsessed, passionate about people, and products !
Before college, I spent hours sketching and hand-lettering with my neighbor, who I saw as my mentor. That’s when I began to wonder if my passion for creativity could turn into a my work.
I pursued a bachelor’s degree in applied arts and later earned an HCI certification at IIT Bombay, where I discovered my love for human-centered design. My journey started with an internship at Orchid Advertising and evolved over 15+ years, focusing on crafting meaningful designs, understanding users through research, and driving innovation with design thinking.
I’ve worked across industries like aerospace, retail, and banking and manufacturing, leading teams to deliver impactful, AI-driven design solutions. While I’ve grown into leadership roles,
I stay deeply connected to the craft, focusing on strategy, research, and mentoring other designers.
