I'm a developer-turned-designer with a degree in Computer Science based in the Bay Area.
‍
In my senior year of college, I realized that I had an inclination towards design and started exploring different careers, eventually stumbling upon UX design. I found that I enjoyed working hands-on with humans, rather than just systems, and felt fulfilled by being able to see the direct impact of my work. This solidified my decision to transition to Product/UX Design after graduating.

I was born in New Jersey and moved to Pune, India at 8 years old. Growing up, I often found myself navigating dualities - American vs. Indian cultures, Design vs. Engineering. I realized that none of these are about polarities, but about finding the commonalities between them. I like to think that having these experiences is what drew me to product design, being multidisciplinary and multifaceted in itself.

In my free time, you can catch me trying new foods and different kinds of teas 🌮🍵, playing video games 🎮 (Minecraft, Zelda or any variety games!) and exploring new cities!
