About

UX UI/Product designer with experience in working with early stage startups and self-initiated design projects, backed by 4+ years leading high-impact project management operations at Cognizant. Design wasn’t a career switch, my curiosity to understand people and solve real problems pushed me from managing projects and outcomes to shaping experience. I design not just for users, but for outcomes that scale, timelines that matter, and solutions that stick.
