About

I'm a Communication Design Lead situated in Bangalore, where I've cultivated a career in design spanning over 6 years. Today, I lead design at Plivo. I have a diverse background, having worked in B2B marketing for tech-first products, where I’ve crafted user-first, intuitive design strategies that drive engagement. My journey has also seen me create impactful designs for B2C and D2C brands, including the fashion and lifestyle sectors. As a well-rounded designer turned design leader, I’m passionate about shaping innovative design solutions that align with business goals. In addition to design, I’ve always had a deep passion for writing and storytelling, using words to narrate compelling stories that resonate with audiences. Whether it’s through design or writing, I strive to make an impact with everything I do.
