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!
MY PHILOSOPHY:
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. I strive to design experiences that scale across cultures while maintaining simplicity and impact.
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!
WHAT I DO
END-TO-END PRODUCT DESIGNER
I oversee the entire design process, from research to design and implementation, ensuring a seamless user experience while balancing business goals and priorities alongside continuously advocating for the user.
Currently, exploring and incorporating AI workflows in my design journey & deliverables!!
WORKING TOGETHER
COLLABORATIVE AND AGILE APPROACH
I am an empathetic leader—I thrive in environments where I can collaborate with people at levels, whether that’s leading seniors, mentoring juniors or partnering with stakeholders. My leadership style is transformational, using empathy as a core component to understand, connect with and motivate others.
My goal is to always foster a culture of creativity, clarity and impact. Ensuring all design solutions not only solve functional problems, but create meaningful connections is of the highest priority to me.
HOW I APPROACH
WITH EMPATHY
I believe in connecting and building trust with all teams finding common ground to move forward
WITH CURIOSITY
I strongly believe in looking for answers with open mind & asking the what-ifs pushing the boundaries.
BRING VISIBILITY
Bring visibility to UX work and share across the organization to put the design work in front of leaders.
