About

Hi, I design products and systems for consumer & enterprise domains. Over these years, in my career I've designed several leading products for companies like Google, Microsoft, Zomato and many more. Currently at Google, I am one of the founding designers in a team where we are building products and systems to empower performance of all Google products. The challenge is to deeply understand millions of users Google serves through various product categories and extrapolating what they need and desire. Along with this, I am also working with Google Research, where in collaboration with world renowned universities we are designing innovative technologies in the healthcare domain. We aim to bridge the gap for people with disabilities to interact with technology. Before this I was at Microsoft where I was Leading the design for key functions of first Microsoft Office app for Android & iOS. I was the part of the founding team that built and shipped first version of Microsoft office app ever. Have also been a contributor to the Microsoft Fluent open source design system. Previously I drove the design for Microsoft Sticky Notes and OneNote. Prior to joining Microsoft, I was the lead designer on the Zomato apps which were the key revenue driver for the business, and also I led the design for Zomato Gold membership which was quite successful after launch in the highly competitive food tech industry. I enjoy being around passionate and creative folks. Therefore I started teaching design on the side. I have been a visiting faculty at multiple universities like Woxen University & Amity Future Academy where I have taught courses on Design thinking theory & methodologies. I have also been a Design consultant for various startups like ttt (terribly tiny tales) and others
