Designer based in Bengaluru, currently leading product design at smallcase. 11+ years of experience in designing and building highly scalable products for users across travel, hospitality, and fintech industries. Previously with ixigo, MatchMove, Stayzilla and Thrillophilia. I love designing clean and usable interfaces. Copy matters a lot, and what’s better than a designer knowing how to write a good one? If you don’t find me creating pixels, you’ll find me creating social content, playing games, taking pictures, and spending time with my 4 y.o corgi.
