About

I am a design leader with experience of 15+ years in design & 9+ years of managing small & large teams. When not designing, I geek out about movies & gaming. I also love making illustrations on life. I’ve had the chance to work as part of MNCs, Digital Agencies and Product Startups with experience of working with local entrepreneurs as well as international brands & markets. As a hands on leader, I work across the UX lifecycle from discovery to delivery guided by data & insights. Being a manager I’ve been working on defining better practices that help my teams deliver their best. Working as a leader I strive to find the right balance between business goals & user needs driven through shared vision.
