About

11 years+ of experience as product designer and founding designer at companies like Microsoft, Nutanix and early stage startup Oleria respectively. And with 3+ years of managing high-performance teams, my expertise spans consumer-focused mobile design to enterprise-grade web solutions. At Microsoft, as design lead for Microsoft Outlook I am shaped AI-powered communication and productivity experiences with Copilot agents. I designed pilot version of Microsoft 365 Copilot for Office apps in 2021 and personalization in Copilot 2025. I am a product designer and coder driven by a passion for creating innovative solutions that unlock novel possibilities for users. Previously, I designed intelligent productivity solutions for Microsoft 365 (formerly Office), playing a key role in its growth to over 100M monthly active users. I led the brand transition from Office to Microsoft 365 and designed the first version of the Microsoft 365 Mobile Copilot. Before joining Microsoft, at Nutanix, I contributed to designing for Cloud, with features such as micro-segmentation flows and disaster recovery modules, earning recognition through four patents. My academic background in engineering, design, and management empowers me to approach challenges from diverse perspectives and deliver impactful results. Specialties: • Data visualization and User Experience (UX) • Mobile, Web, and Cross-platform UX • Product strategy and marketing Design, data, global affairs and startups—over a great cup of coffee.
