Design Journey
The First Spark
The First Spark
Began with personal projects, illustrations, and late-night experiments in Adobe Xd, InVision, Figma. No brief, no client, just curiosity, and the quiet realization that design was the language I'd been looking for.
Designing in the Real World
Designing in the Real World
Joined DSmart Systems in Hyderabad as a Junior Design Consultant. Shipped 3+ healthcare apps and 40+ Figma mockups, learning to balance users, stakeholders, and business goals, engagement up 20%, satisfaction up 25%.
Crossing Oceans for Craft
Crossing Oceans for Craft
Moved to Indianapolis for a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction. I wanted to slow down, to study the why behind the work, and learn the research foundations that turn good designers into thoughtful ones.
Research Meets Craft
Research Meets Craft
A full year of designing, researching, and teaching at once, donor-first experiences at Ren Inc., UX at COMET Lab, and mentoring 40+ students as a Graduate TA. The year design stopped being a job and started feeling like a practice.
What's Next?
What's Next?
An Open Chapter!
Looking for teams where research, strategy, and storytelling all have a seat at the table, and the kind of problems that are worth slowing down for.
