About

I'm a Product Designer who leads with research… and honestly, I think that's the way to do it right. For the past few years I've been working on cool, complex & 'wicked' problems across government services, B2B products, SaaS and humanitarian projects.

My most valuable skill is staying curious and empathetic. I’m always open to learning, questioning, and understanding. I believe real impact comes from listening deeply, staying open-minded, and constantly growing through the process.

BACKGROUND

I was trained as an architect in India. That journey of thinking about how people move through space, how form follows function, how a structure has to work for the person using it… never really left me. It just shifted scale. Now, I apply the same thinking to digital real estate.

Most of my work lives at the intersection of research and design. The part of the process I enjoy the most is when a problem is messy and the path forward isn't obvious… where I Get to do lots of listening and sense-making. I care about work that actually makes an impact.

LIFE OUTSIDE WORK

When I'm not in research mode, I'm usually looking up. I'm a self-proclaimed space nerd who keeps close tabs on aerospace missions, tech, advancements and discoveries. There's something about the scale of it that keeps everything else in perspective.

On the ground, the things that keep me alive are road trips, hikes, my guitar and the gym. Something that's recently helped me unwind is creating digital collages an art.
