About

I'm a designer who has spent 5+ years solving complex problems for enterprise users — currently at Nutanix, where I lead design for the Disaster Recovery product. I thrive in ambiguous, high-stakes environments and genuinely enjoy the challenge of making gnarly problems feel simple. With a masters in HCI from IIT Guwahati I bring my penchant for research and design craft to every project. Always happy to connect with fellow designers and product folks!
