A bit about Me
It’s not just a profession - it’s a way of thinking
As an experienced designer, my work is my lifestyle. I am constantly observing the world, how people interact with technology, objects and space!
I value clarity, functionality and purpose : both in design & in life. I believe the best design solutions come from curiosity, collaboration and out-of-the-box thinking.
My design philosophy has always been focused on problem solving with uncompromising craft. I've been very lucky to be able to work across multiple verticals in a close collaboration with partners — from consumer e-commerce to fraud management to cloud infra.
Outside work:
Originally from Pune (India) I currently call Oakland (CA) a home.
…and I’m crazy about vegetarian food, wine, making clay sculptures and traveling to places near & far!
Where users and business meet
I turn complex systems into clear experiences by moving through the full design arc, always balancing what people need with what the business is trying to achieve.
- DiscoverImmerse in customer research and the technical context.
- DefineFrame the real problem and align teams on strategy.
- DevelopExplore, prototype and validate quickly, with AI-assisted tools.
- DeliverShip scalable patterns together with engineering.
Design is a team sport
The best work happens when product, engineering, data science and design think out loud together, early and often.
- I like to start the conversation earlyI’d rather sit down with product, engineering and data folks before there’s a single screen, so we’re all solving the same problem from day one.
- I sketch before I debateA rough prototype beats a long meeting. I get something in front of people quickly, and we learn what’s actually worth building.
- I bring the customer into the roomI share what I hear from users, the quotes, the journey maps, the awkward moments, so everyone can feel what they’re feeling.
- I care about the people, tooHonest critique, mentoring and a shared design system keep the team growing and the work feeling like ours.
