I am currently working as an Assistant Professor for the Experience Design Specialisation of BITS Design school under BITS, Pilani. I have a Master's degree in New Media Design from the National Institute of Design, where I learn to apply design thinking and creativity to various domains and contexts, such as experiential spaces, game design, sound design, and HMI. I have worked for clients and companies such as Zomato, District, Tata Motors and Jaguar Land Rover, as well as been part of the core Android UX team at Google India, where I worked on some super exciting stuff that impacts millions of lives worldwide from all walks of life. I have also won multiple awards and honors for my innovative and impactful design projects, such as Yatri Sahayak, a solution for improving the safety and convenience of public transport users during the pandemic. I am a multidisciplinary designer with a passion for solving problems and creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for users. I am open to consultancy in New Media Design, Experiential Design/Spaces, HMI, UX, UI, Graphic/Visual Design, Game Design, and Sound Design. I am always up for chai/coffee and engaging conversations.
