About

Founding Designer with 5+ years of experience building and scaling 0→1 products across fintech, AI, SaaS, and consumer technology. I've shipped 50+ products, built and led design teams of up to 10 people, and partnered closely with founders on product strategy, growth, systems, and execution. My work includes redesigning India's National Pension Scheme onboarding journey, reducing completion time by 90% within regulatory constraints, and designing AI experiences that maintained 98% session completion despite minute-long LLM response times. With a background in Computer Science, I enjoy working at the intersection of design, product, and technology. I care deeply about product thinking, taste, craft, and building experiences that create measurable business impact. Currently building an AI-first consumer app in the astrology space, bringing modern product design to a category used by millions.
