About

In my recent stint, I’ve taken an entrepreneurial path, exploring projects at the intersection of design strategy, storytelling, and AI. It’s been an ongoing inquiry into how design can shape meaning, behaviour, and experience in evolving contexts. With over 12 years of experience across design, art, and technology-led organisations, I’ve navigated roles that blend creativity, systems thinking, and leadership. I’ve led Product Design and helped shape the design culture at Licious, BYJU’S, and TravelTriangle. Along the way, I’ve partnered with multiple early-stage startups to build design teams and establish scalable design and creative processes.

  • I left a linear design career to co-found SugarStrings.ai, turning a personal health breakthrough into a preventive care brand.

  • Stepping into entrepreneurship forced me to grow in every direction beyond product design. I learned what it really takes to build a business from scratch, and discovered truths about resilience, leadership, grit, pivots, and growth.
