Growing up, I was fascinated by how the world could connect people in meaningful ways. A warm conversation with friends over chai, the vibrant chaos of Mumbai streets, or the shared excitement of cooking a family meal—all these moments had a beauty that stayed with me. I was drawn to creative expression, always finding joy in designing, drawing, and storytelling. But alongside that love for creativity, I also had an insatiable curiosity for how things worked. Technology fascinated me. I would spend hours exploring software, tinkering with interfaces, and dreaming of how to make life better and easier for others.

Coming from a hardworking family in India, I learned early on how to be resourceful. My journey started with a passion for engineering, and I earned my Bachelor’s of Engineering in Information Technology. Yet, something was missing. I found myself drawn not just to how things functioned but to how people experienced them. This realization inspired me to pursue a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction in the U.S., where I immersed myself in the art and science of design, blending empathy, aesthetics, and research.

At first, moving to a new country was overwhelming. Balancing my studies, navigating cultural shifts, and finding my place was a challenge, but it also taught me resilience. I focused on what I loved: designing for real people, understanding their needs, and using creativity to solve complex problems. Whether it was designing digital platforms for healthcare, improving telecommunication experiences, or creating a social media project to connect friends through food, I learned that the key to great design is human connection.

Today, my work is where my passions converge. I use design systems, research, and user-centered thinking to craft experiences that are both intuitive and impactful. I aim to inspire trust in emerging technologies, shape accessible digital spaces, and create designs that people feel connected to—designs that not only function but delight and empower.

My journey hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve faced my share of setbacks, but I’ve grown with every challenge. I’ve learned to trust the process, stay curious, and continue finding beauty in every project I take on. For me, design is more than work—it’s the bridge between human stories and technology, a way to build a world where everyone can feel seen and supported.
