About me

I am a Product Designer who gets genuinely curious about people, products, and the space where the either two don't quite meet. I am the person who notices the friction before anyone names it, sketches flows on the back of receipts, and asks why one too many times in every meeting.


That curiosity is both my personality and my process and over four years, it's become the most valuable thing I bring to every room I walk into. I care deeply about the people on the other side of every screen I design, their hesitations, their mental models, the moment something clicks for them.


That's not just how I design. It's just who I am.

That's not just how I design. It's just who I am.

I grew up in Pune, where Industrial Design taught me to build with my hands first, understanding how things are held, how they fail, and why the smallest physical decision changes everything about how something feels to use.


San Francisco took that instinct somewhere new. Studying HCI at CCA, in a city buzzing with AI, pushed me to apply everything I knew about physical products to digital systems, how people trust technology they can't fully see, how complexity becomes clarity, how design earns confidence one interaction at a time.
