MY STORY

WHERE I'M FROM

I was born and raised in Mumbai, India. Growing up there taught me to read chaos, find patterns, and design for people whose lives don't slow down.

My early passion for design and curiosity about emerging technology have influenced everything I create: how I ask questions, how I observe people, and how I decide what matters.

DESIGN IS HOW I MAKE SENSE OF COMPLEX THINGS.

HOW I GOT INTO DESIGN

My journey began during my bachelor's in electronics engineering, where I built a brain-controlled wheelchair. That hands-on exploration of human-machine interaction sparked a deeper interest in HCI — leading me to pursue an MA in New Media Design at Aalto University.

Since then I've created interactive Gen-AI art installations, an award-winning Gen-AI gamified learning platform, and complex SaaS products. Each one pushed me further into the intersection of AI and human experience.

THE BEST PRODUCTS ARE ONES PEOPLE BARELY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

Driven by this mindset, I strive to create purposeful designs that the world genuinely needs — ones that enhance human capability and expression rather than replacing human judgement.

I'm currently looking for opportunities to design innovative digital experiences that make a real difference: in AI products, in research-led teams, and in places where design sits at the centre of strategy.

AI SHOULD AMPLIFY HUMAN POTENTIAL, NOT REPLACE HUMAN JUDGEMENT.

WHY I DESIGN

I love taking things apart to understand how they work. I interrogate ideas, break them open, and reassemble them until they either make sense or simply work better.

This investigative approach shapes everything I do. I move fluidly between hands-on experimentation and big-picture strategy.

TAKING THINGS APART IS HOW I LEARN TO BUILD THEM BETTER.
