I’m passionate about improving design culture, bridging design–dev collaboration, and aligning design metrics with business growth\. My approach blends systems thinking, storytelling, and sharp product intuition, often bringing structure to chaos while mentoring designers to think like strategists\. Actively collaborating with global teams across India, the UK, and the US\. I hold a valid US B1/B2 visa and am travel\-ready for workshops, leadership connects, and cross\-functional sprints\. Let’s build better, smarter, more human\-centered products\.
