My story began in Architecture, where I learned how thoughtful design can shape the way people live, move and feel. That curiosity led me to Industrial Design, where I got hands-on with physical products — sketching, prototyping, refining and always asking:

“How will someone use this?”

Eventually, I found my home in UX. A space where systems, empathy, creativity and impact come together.  

It’s this multi-disciplinary foundation that shapes how I approach everything — from design decisions to team dynamics.  
But beyond my tools and titles, there are a few things that truly drive me:

From floorplans to flows, products to pixels — I've always been designing for humans.

Every phase of my career has been about one thing: creating experiences that matter.
I’ve designed physical spaces people live in, products they use every day, and now digital platforms that simplify lives.

That multi-disciplinary journey helps me see the big picture while obsessing over the smallest details. I bring systems thinking from architecture, human-centered prototyping from industrial design, and the agility of UX into every project I take on.

What it brings to the table:

Strategic, BIG-picture thinking
A deep understanding of how people interact with systems
Precision in detail and layout
Seamless transitions between concept, design, and execution

Design isn’t just what I do — it’s how I support, lead and grow with others.

Long before I led design teams, I taught design fundamentals to aspiring architecture students. Teaching gave me the tools to explain ideas clearly, adapt to different learning styles and create environments where people feel safe to explore.

As a mentor, I’ve worked with junior designers — helping them not just refine their craft, but build confidence, navigate complexity, and trust their voice.

People are at the centre of everything I do. Whether I’m mentoring one-on-one, facilitating a design sprint or bringing cross-functional teams together, I lead with empathy, clarity and intention.

What it brings to the table:

Strong facilitation and communication skills
A collaborative leadership style
Empathy-driven decision-making
A focus on team morale and shared success

Curiosity fuels creativity—and I make space for both in my life and my work.

Outside of design, I explore.

You’ll find me in a Kathak class on a Sunday morning, experimenting with pottery on a quiet evening or painting after a long trip. I’ve travelled solo, tried new crafts and signed up for things that scare and excite me.

These experiences keep me creatively charged and remind me to approach every challenge with an open mind.
They’ve made me more resilient, more resourceful and more comfortable with ambiguity — a skill every modern designer needs.

What it brings to the table:

Fresh perspective and energy
Comfort in ambiguity and iteration
Storytelling through visuals and emotion
A playful, growth-oriented mindset

Every sketch, every classroom, every conversation—it's all led me here.

I’m a designer who sees both the system and the story.
Who values collaboration as much as craft.
Who leads with curiosity, clarity and care.

I bring a mix of systems thinking, storytelling and hands-on design leadership — shaped by architecture, product and people. Let’s create something meaningful.
