Hands-On Design Leader Rooted in Strategy, Innovation, and Impact
About
I’m a design leader driven by the power of technology to connect people and elevate everyday experiences. My work goes beyond pixels—it's about building systems, shaping strategy, and fostering the conditions for meaningful, lasting change.
Shaped by my early experiences in India, I bring a global lens and systems-thinking approach to complex design challenges—connecting user behavior, business strategy, and service ecosystems.
