About

I have 23 years of experience in UX design, specializing in creating seamless digital experiences. I excel in understanding user needs and have led numerous projects from concept to launch using agile and lean UX methodologies. I prioritize balancing user requirements with business goals to ensure data-driven, user-focused design decisions that improve user satisfaction and conversion rates. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, developers, and QA testers to ensure design consistency and address technical challenges. I participate in Agile ceremonies and create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to visualize design ideas. I iterate on designs based on feedback and usability testing results and conduct usability tests. I maintain design consistency by developing a design system and seek continuous improvement by staying updated on design trends and seeking feedback. I document design decisions and communicate them effectively to non-designers, embracing the iterative nature of Agile to deliver design value incrementally and drive project success. Throughout my career, I have focused on building UI and UX-related software applications for well-known companies like PepsiCo, Mercedes Benz, and IBM Security while leading design teams. I have experience as an individual contributor and team player and am currently seeking the next exciting design challenge in my career. So please reach out to connect and engage with me!

Associate Design Director

Nov 2014Present · 11 yrs 7 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

  • I have ten years of experience at IBM and have worked and learned from some of the industry's most innovative and intuitive people. Designing has been an integral part of my life. Visuals are a core part of the design process, but they can sometimes conceal incomplete thinking. Without deep diving into consumer benefits, designers in the long run tend to create a negative value for their team in the long run. Hence The value of design isn’t actually in producing visual artifacts, but in the process that leverages those artifacts.
