About

I am a self taught product designer with over 6 years of experience, living in the Bangalore, India. I discovered my passion for storytelling and visual media, which led me to learn design through YouTube and other online resources. Early in my career, I focused on the craft, designing desktop interfaces, mobile applications, and voice interactions at global enterprises and startup companies. As a product designer, I am the user's voice in a debate dominated by technology and business. I help organizations identify latent needs, generate ideas, and transform concepts into successful business outcomes. I've led a range of consumer and enterprise products through successful international market launches following the human-centered design process. Not to say I haven't had failures. I have been part of launches and ventures that either bombed or did not take off. Along the way, I grew resilient. My design journey has led me to believe that "Culture is the backbone of any successful organization." This belief guides me as I work with global design organizations located across different geographies. I strive to foster a healthy culture that empowers individuals and aligns processes with the goal of developing genuinely transformational products and experiences. When I'm not at work, I play Call of Duty with my friends. It helps me declutter my mind. When I'm not playing, I enjoy traveling, going on hikes, and learning new skills.
