About

With over 10 years of experience in various sectors, I am a product design expert who is passionate about creating products and services that solve real problems and improve lives. I have a GWDD degree in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics and Special Effects from Arena Animation, and I am a member of the Interaction Design Foundation. Currently, I am the Lead UI/UX Designer at DealShare, where I spearhead the design team in scaling the startup with tasteful and user-centric product design. Previously, I led the development of the Bharat Khata app, an innovative Buy Now Pay Later and Supply Chain Financing solution for Bharat users, at Jai Kisan. I have also worked with LEAD School and Cimpress, delivering successful projects using my expertise in user research, design thinking, prototyping, and UI/UX design. I foster close collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, ensuring that the products align with business objectives and user needs. I use ethical design practices and data-driven decisions to create products that are inclusive, accessible, and engaging. I am proficient in Figma, design systems, user experience design, and have certifications in voice interface and conversation design, and quantitative research methods in HCI.
