About me

My tryst with design began back in engineering college, where I worked on a project as a front-end developer.

Intrigued by design, I later transitioned from an engineer to a product designer after graduation.

It's been 5 years since then, and I am now crafting digital products across multiple industries such as Healthcare, EdTech, HR Tech, and Logistics, shaping everyday experiences for more than 100 million users globally.

I specialize in design systems, developing UX processes and frameworks that drive tangible business outcomes and empower products to scale.

What keeps me ticking?
The joy of solving real problems and making an impact.
My philosophy is straightforward – keep it simple, functional, and scalable.

I currently lead the design efforts for AppDirect's Accounts, Payments, Subscription, and Purchase experiences and am based in Bengaluru, India.

Beyond the screen when I'm not designing

🛫 I love traveling; it's a good excuse for taking pictures.


🧗 I’m into treks once a year; it really helps me challenge myself, be closer to nature.


🎨 Painting is something I was really good at it, but lost touch so getting better everyday.


📖 Reading again is something I’m trying to get better at.
Currently reading Information Architecture For the Web and Beyond.
