Founding Designer at Headphone Startup, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, As the founding designer of a headphone startup, I’ve been working on setting up the brand vision and design direction while shaping how the product looks, feels, and performs. From initial sketches to early prototypes, I’ve been deeply involved in creating an innovative headphone. Working closely with the founding team, exploring materials, ergonomics, and CMF strategies, always pushing to turn bold ideas into practical solutions. Alongside the product, I also contribute to building the design language and storytelling that define the brand’s identity. This journey has been about more than just designing headphones—it’s about laying the foundation for a product and brand that people can connect with, while learning, iterating, and shaping something meaningful from the ground up.

Industrial Design Intern at IDAN Motor Private Limited, Mar 2025 - Aug 2025 · 6 mos, Designed and developed innovative side panels for an upcoming EV bike, balancing aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability. My role spanned from concept sketches to CAD development and prototyping, ensuring the panels aligned with both brand vision and engineering feasibility. One of the key challenges was to integrate the panels seamlessly with the bike’s body framework while keeping tooling and manufacturing costs in check. Through iterative design, prototyping, and close collaboration with engineers, I refined the design into a production-ready solution. This project gave me deeper insights into DFM (Design for Manufacturing), CMF strategy, and structural integrity in EVs, while pushing my problem-solving and detailing skills to the next level.

Service and Strategy Designer at Freelance, Nov 2024 - Apr 2025 · 6 mos, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, I worked on a freelance project where design met business strategy. My role involved analyzing user needs, mapping customer journeys, and identifying ways to strengthen market positioning for a tools and equipment brand. The biggest challenge was competing against cheap Chinese products, which pushed me to think creatively and strategically. I developed service touchpoints, refined brand communication, and proposed actionable strategies to enhance user experience and trust. After implementation, the company saw a 30% growth in sales within a year — a clear validation of how design-led strategy can drive real business impact.
