Professional Summary
I’m a product designer and researcher with over 7 years of experience turning complex ideas into thoughtful, people-centered solutions. I studied at RISD and IIT Hyderabad, and I love working at the intersection of UX, interactive design, AI, and product strategy, whether it’s in a startup, a large company, or an academic lab.
At Deloitte, I led design inside agile teams for Fortune 500 clients, helping shape digital tools across healthcare, fintech, and logistics. On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve built products from the ground up for early-stage startups like InstateMe and PureEV, figuring out what users need, what the business is aiming for, and how design can bring it all together.
My research explores how we can design beyond screens, using AI and sensory interaction to rethink how we connect with digital experiences. I’ve worked on projects at Brown and IIT that ask: how do we feel, sense, and trust what’s digital?
I also mentor designers through ADPList, where I’ve connected with creatives in 11+ countries. For me, design is about creating with care building tools, systems, and experiences that help people feel more understood and empowered.
