Curiosity, Creativity, and a
Dash of Whimsy.
From designing spaces in the vibrant streets of India to mentoring future designers as a professor, I’ve spent over a decade crafting experiences that blend structure and creativity. Whether shaping physical spaces or digital ones, my work is rooted in purpose and a deep curiosity for solving meaningful problems.
Explore. Disrupt. Design.
Curious Mind, Creative Heart
As a kid, I loved taking apart toys to see how they worked. Growing up in India, my passion for art and insatiable curiosity set the foundation for a career in design and problem-solving.
Why I Do It
Human stories fuel my work. Whether mentoring 200+ aspiring designers or enhancing lives at Ensō Village, I’ve seen how thoughtful design can solve meaningful problems.
How I Create
The best designs feel effortless, like they were always meant to be. I start with curiosity—asking the right questions, exploring ideas, and crafting thoughtful solutions that make an impact.
What Keeps Me Grounded
When I’m not designing, I’m cooking with my husband, building Arduino projects with my son, or enjoying life’s little moments.

My Design Philosophy.
My approach to design is rooted in four key pillars: People, Process, Product, and Customer Service. These principles guide me as I create solutions that are intuitive, impactful, and aligned with user needs.
-
Great design starts with empathy. I focus on understanding the needs, behaviors, and pain points of users to craft experiences that are inclusive, accessible, and meaningful. Whether through usability testing or stakeholder collaboration, my goal is to ensure every product I design feels personalized and seamless.
-
I believe that thoughtful processes lead to exceptional results. From research to prototyping to iterative testing, I follow a structured yet flexible design process that ensures alignment with user goals and business objectives. This approach helps me navigate complexity and deliver scalable, user-centric solutions.
-
Design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about functionality, innovation, and impact. I focus on creating products that solve real problems and delight users. By combining user insights with creative problem-solving, I ensure that every design delivers tangible value, whether it’s an inventory dashboard, an engaging mobile interface, or an accessible service.
-
Design doesn’t stop at delivering a product—it extends to the ongoing experience. I strive to design solutions that not only serve users effectively but also support their evolving needs. By integrating feedback and maintaining a user-first mindset, I aim to build trust, satisfaction, and long-term engagement.
The Human Side
Gelato Enthusiast
If there’s gelato in sight, you’ll find me there. Whether it’s a classic vanilla scoop or a bold new flavor, ice cream is my ultimate comfort (and creative fuel).
Artist at Heart
Intricate designs, steady hands, and a love for tradition—I’ve been crafting henna art for years, and it’s one of my favorite creative escapes.
Star Wars Superfan
The Force is strong with me! Whether it’s lightsaber duels or debates over Darth Vader’s arc, Star Wars is my go-to universe for inspiration and fun.
From Designing Experiences, to
Creating Visual Narratives.
I create Concept Art, merging sound and visuals to tell stories through paintings. Each piece is a visual translation of the music I listen to.
If you're curious to see more of how these experiences take shape, including my #SongsToPaintings series, join me on Instagram, where I share the stories behind my art.
