About

As a product designer, I'm constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to showcase my creativity, attention to detail, and user-centric approach. ⚡I am a licensed architect turned product designer. 🎮I traded Autocad for Figma, but my love for shapes, patterns, and user psychology remains strong. 🔮I am a part of 10k Designers, where I've had the opportunity to refine my skills, learn from others, and contribute to some exciting design projects. My interest in shapes, patterns, and microscopic nature led me to pursue formal education in architecture, where I honed my observational skills and attention to detail. After a few years in the architecture industry, I realized I want to explore a more dynamic and user-centric field where I can let my visual design skills shine, work on fast-paced design cycles, and analyze the metrics of my design in use. I'm proud to have led design projects from ideation to launch, collaborating with cross-functional teams in the complex setting of architectural firms. My design skills, inquisitiveness towards learning, and work ethic have been commended by my seniors in previous jobs.

Architectural Intern

Jun 2019 – Apr 2020 · 10 mos · Delhi, India

In my internship, I gained experience in all the design stages, from schematic design to site coordination, on a single project that I handled solo as an intern under the guidance of the principal. Apart from evolving a finer design understanding and improvising skill set, I became more proactive and responsible by getting things done.
