About

My journey as a UX designer has been fueled by a passion for crafting intuitive digital experiences. While MERN stack development was a hobby, my professional focus has always been design. I've had the opportunity to work with companies like JIO, where I contributed to large-scale projects that improved user interactions, as well as EdTech startups, where I designed impactful learning experiences. At Siemens Advanta, I specialize in enhancing user experiences through human-centered design and improving design systems. With a background in Information Technology and Community-Centered Design, I leverage tools like Figma to create seamless user interfaces. A highlight of my career was leading a pattern-based design initiative that streamlined processes and boosted team efficiency. My journey reflects my commitment to delivering user-centered solutions and innovative design excellence.
