About

I love designing experiences which are multi-faceted solving abstract problems both for the consumers and the business. I curate my design by analyzing the problem and applying design and analytical thinking to arrive at a structured and actionable solution. Through my design I try to tell a story which would resonate with a wide range of user personas focused at eliminating the common challenges. I like my design ideas to clearly spell out the tangible value proposition throughout the value chain of a user journey maximizing the positive and desirable outcomes. As an UX designer I often use the entire portfolio of my skill set which include and not limited to - Design Thinking, Analytical reasoning, User Persona creation, User Journey maps, empathy mapping, storytelling, branding, service and process design. I also focus on coherent, comprehensible communication and team work to achieve maximum potential impact of my design artefacts.
