If you'd asked my Grandma, she'd say I taught her how to shop from Amazon ; if you ask my Mom, she’d say I helped her unlock Smart TV’s magic, with classmates you’ll find me having discussions on designing with AI or design in everyday life. That’s me, I get a thrill from bringing worlds together, whether it's human-AI collaboration or cross-generational tech lessons.
Journey into Design
My design story began with questions - how do people think, act, and feel around technology? Designing posters for college clubs, tailoring workshops, and doing audits for digital platforms led me into this world. This curiosity guided me to study Interaction Design at the National Institute of Design, Bengaluru. Moving from electronics to design taught me how systems and empathy can coexist.
Learning & Collaboration
Through projects with IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and Celebto, I’ve learned to bridge design, business, and humanity. I’m drawn to collaborations where curiosity drives clarity.

Conducted a workshop introducing the world of UX in my college - shared insights on user-centered design.
My shared Figma file was later used by 230+ people in the Figma Community.
Since my college lacked a tech club, I co-founded one to bridge the skills and opportunity gap, helping students explore tech fields and connect with industry experts.
Sharing work that resonates, occasionally catching the attention of the companies behind it.

What I bring to the table
I design for the small frictions the clicks, pauses, and glances that shape human–machine rhythm.
