About

My journey into design didn’t start with Figma, it started with words. I began my career in a content-focused role first, learning how people read, think, and make decisions. That foundation shaped how I see UX today: clarity over complexity. Now I’m a Product Designer with 4.5 years of experience, specializing in mobile-first UX and app design. 🚀 WHAT I DO : Designed 0→1 and 1→10 experiences serving thousands of Retailers and Distributors manage orders, inventory, and operations with ease often in low-bandwidth, high-constraint environments. Most of my work has been in the Kirana tech and B2B Ecommerce space for Bharat users. Focus areas: growth, onboarding, accessibility (Hindi-first UX), and AI-assisted design workflows. 🛠 HOW I DESIGN : My approach blends user research, accessibility, and data-driven decisions with clean, scalable design systems. I care about building products that are intuitive, fast, and work effortlessly in the real world. 🤖 AI IN MY PROCESS : I actively use AI-assisted workflows to synthesize research faster, explore ideas quickly, prototype rapidly, and speed up iterations. AI helps me reduce busywork so I can focus more on strategy, user problems, and thoughtful design decisions. 🎯 CORE SKILLS : Mobile-first UX • App Design • Design Systems • Kirana Tech • B2B ecommerce • Accessibility • Data-Driven Design • Prototyping • AI-assisted workflows • Cross-functional collaboration 🌱 BEYOND WORK : I’m a curious learner who loves talking about design, AI, and building better products.
