About

I’m an Indian designer, an explorer of new avenues in emerging tech and a chaser of sunlight. I draw inspiration from our robust culture and with research as my map and empathy as my compass, I navigate towards the best solution for users and businesses alike. When I'm not designing, you’ll find me scouting for offbeat locations, learning origami, and being fascinated by cardistry.

Product Designer at Blinctrip, Jun 2023 - Apr 2024 · 11 mos, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, At Blinctrip, a leading travel tech startup in India, I played a crucial role in the product team, focusing on developing AI-centric concepts. Key Contributions: 1) AI-Driven Innovations - Collaborated with the team to develop AI-first product concepts. Leveraged the double diamond design process for effective mind mapping, brainstorming, and iterating on product strategy and GUIs. 2) Flight Card Design - Designed a user-friendly flight card integrating qualitative features such as carbon emissions data, baggage policies, and flight on-time performance. Despite adding more data points, ensured the design remained sleek and uncluttered, adhering to UX principles of clarity and efficiency to aid quick decision-making. 3) Stay Booking Flow - Co-led the design of an intuitive stay-booking flow to simplify user choices among multiple room variations. Conducted extensive stakeholder analysis, interviewing a representative group of users to gather insights and validate the design, ensuring it met broader user needs. 4) Trip Planner Module - Worked extensively on the itinerary feature within the trip planner module, incorporating an auto-import function using calendar permissions. This allowed users to manage their itineraries more realistically, accommodating overlapping scenarios and different time zones. 5) Design System - Co-created the in-house design system, 'Neo Atlas.' Ensured new components were well-maintained, explained different Figma use cases to the team, and documented extensively for developers.
