About
I build brands that last. Over 10 years, I've worked at the intersection of creative vision and business outcomes taking brands from zero to shelf, zero to app, and zero to investor deck. At JUSTDOGS I built India's first premium pet care brand entirely in-house. Identity, packaging for 30+ SKUs, product UX for 10,000+ users, retail presence, and investor materials all from scratch, no agency. The brand helped close one of India's largest funding rounds in the pet care space. At KLAY, India's largest preschool chain, I unified visual identity across 200+ centers, led a team of 8, and rebuilt how the design team works: sprint-based, strategic, and accountable to business outcomes. Before that: integrated campaigns across FMCG, D2C, fintech, and edtech. Brand identities built from brief to brand book. International design recognition for UX work. What I do well: → Brand building from zero—strategy, identity, tone, packaging, retail → Design team leadership—hiring, systems, culture, mentoring → Product UX—research, testing, iteration → Investor & C-suite communication—pitch decks, brand narratives
