About

As a Lead Product Designer at Mesh, I develop and maintain design systems for this SAAS B2B Tech Startup and Companies, collaborating closely with front-end stakeholders. I conduct research initiatives to address project pain points and inform pre and post-release improvements. I have designed core workflows that resulted in a 4x boost in engagement and successfully onboarded 2x customers. I am currently developing a module for streamlined performance reviews and leading competitor analysis for US market expansion. I have a BFA in Interactive Design from Rachana Sansads College of Applied Arts and Craft, where I learned to apply design thinking and user-centric principles to create impactful and delightful experiences. I have over 5 years of experience in product and visual design, previously working at Razorpay and Media.net, where I led design projects from inception to execution, focusing on collaboration with research and product teams. I am passionate about design that does more than look good, and that helps businesses solve complex, abstract problems and have a meaningful impact.
