UX Researcher & Designer | Mixed Methods | Fintech & Consumer Apps

About

I research why users behave the way they do and design what comes next. With 2+ years in UX research and design across fintech, matrimonial tech, and e-commerce platforms, I work at the intersection of discovery and delivery. My methods span user interviews, usability testing, journey mapping, and research synthesis paired with hands-on prototyping in Figma so insights don't die in decks. What makes my work different, I came up through visual design and merchandising before moving into UX which means I read user aesthetics and business context simultaneously. I've mapped onboarding friction in high-trust financial products, studied decision-making in high-stakes consumer journeys, and built research systems for early-stage startups from scratch. Currently at Matrimony.com as UX Researcher II, working on experience research for one of India's largest consumer platforms.
