About

I’m a Product Designer with a background in software development (3 years at Tata Steel). My journey started in tech, but I found my spark in UX—a space where creativity, empathy, and problem-solving shape real-world impact. In the last year, I’ve built a strong foundation through the Google UX Design Certificate, UX mentorship under Anudeep Ayyagiri. I worked on projects like a Rapido UX concept project (helping new users explore & plancities more seamlessly). TuneTribe (a platform for musicians to collaborate and find gigs) and . My work at UX Gym Ignite was recognized with awards, further strengthening my confidence as a designer. What sets me apart is my blend of tech + design: • I understand systems, constraints, and developer language. • I enjoy solving layered problems—mapping flows, simplifying complexity, and aligning user needs with business goals. I’m now looking for UX Design roles in product companies that value design culture, creativity, and growth. Excited to contribute to teams building intuitive, impactful products that users genuinely love.

Practiced UX like an athlete in training -> through hands-on projects, design drills, hands-on workshops, practical workbooks, and community discussions, as an active UX Design Community Member. With mentorship from UX Anudeep, as a senior designer guiding the learning process through real feedback, reflection, and learning from mistakes -> using a non-textbook, non-templated approach rooted in strong UX foundations, not superficial shortcut-driven learning.
Rapido Reimagined:
Designed a new “Explore & Plan” feature to help travelers visiting a city discover routes and attractions in a smarter, more intuitive way. Instead of just booking rides, users can now see a mapped 1 day plan with stop-wise travel info, reach times, and suggestions. I worked through multiple ideas (30+ sketches, 6 iterations), talked to users, and designed a system that actually reduces decision fatigue and builds confidence in planning city travel.
