Design Maverick | Transforming Ideas into Intuitive Experiences | Bringing Fresh Perspectives to UI/UX.

About

Design‑driven problem solver with a Media and Communication degree from Manipal and a UI/UX bootcamp from DesignBoat, turning messy ideas into clean, intuitive interfaces.Blending storytelling, visual design, and user psychology, I craft experiences that are easy to use, hard to ignore, and built to perform. Right now, I design for Sochcast, creating scroll‑stopping visuals and on-brand creatives that sharpen communication and boost engagement. Earlier stints with Zinnov and Manipal’s social media team trained me to ship fast, stay consistent, and design for real audiences—not just pretty screens. My happy place is somewhere between Figma frames, Adobe Creative Suite, and a clear brief I can push further. I enjoy taking a concept from rough sketch to wireframes, prototypes, and pixel-perfect handoff while obsessing over hierarchy, clarity, and that extra 10% of polish. Looking ahead, I’m excited to grow into a UI/UX or product design role where I can: - Own flows and interfaces end-to-end, from insights to interaction details. - Collaborate with product, tech, and marketing to ship work that actually moves metrics. - Bring a strong visual design eye into scalable systems and design libraries. If you’re building something user‑first and need a designer who can think in systems, design with intent, and still keep it visually sharp, let’s connect and create something worth talking about.
