About me

Experience Designer, Agile Practitioner, Creative Problem Solver, and Visual Storyteller.

I’m a Product Designer currently working as a User Experience Researcher at Indiana University Bloomington. My design journey has always focused on crafting user-centered experiences that extend beyond the screen, creating meaningful and impactful interactions.

I have experience working on B2B enterprise projects at Tech Mahindra Americas Inc. @Verizon and B2C SaaS platforms at Reliance Jio, where I contributed to the JioMeet product. Additionally, as a UX Consultant for the Hoosier Community Network, I helped local businesses grow through digital transformation. These roles have sharpened my ability to design intuitive, impactful digital solutions, always keeping the user at the core.

I'm passionate about design and focused on creating experiences that are functional, emotional, and easy to use. I’m excited to find new opportunities where I can apply a user-centered approach to technology and contribute to meaningful projects.

Design Values

Design with Empathy

I believe that the best designs come from a deep understanding of the people who use them. My approach to design is rooted in empathy, where every decision is made with the user's experience in mind. By immersing myself in their world, I strive to create solutions that are not only functional but also resonate on an emotional level. I’m passionate about exploring how thoughtful design can make technology feel more human and intuitive.

Impactful Innovation

Technology is constantly evolving, and I’m fascinated by its potential to transform how we live and interact. My focus is on leveraging design to drive innovation that matters—whether it’s simplifying complex processes, enhancing user engagement, or making digital experiences more accessible. I’m particularly excited about the future of user interfaces and how we can push the boundaries to create seamless, invisible interactions that blend effortlessly into our daily lives.

Community engagement and collaboration are integral to my growth as a person.
