About

Product Designer with over 17+ years of experience designing products across gaming, e-commerce, and consumer tech. For the last 4.5 years at Games24x7, I’ve led design for RummyCircle, My11Circle (fantasy), and Poker, shaping experiences for our 100M+ users. Spearheaded the Rummy App Revamp- a complete transformation of the 18-year legacy landscape UI into a modern portrait UI with a new personalized framework. This mega project delivered 15%+ uplift in LTV, simplified core journeys. Alongside product outcomes, I built and mentored a 15-member design org (UX, Research, Creative, Motion), setting up scalable systems, design processes, and 3 functional leads. Before that, I spent 11 years at Huawei, where I began as a UX Designer and grew into Design Lead for Global E-commerce Operations across Asia-Pacific & South America. I also contributed to Android UI design, delivering experiences used by millions worldwide. This journey taught me how to operate across geographies, lead diverse teams, and balance global standards with local user needs.
