about me

who i am, what i do
and how to reach me
Hello there! 😁

Thanks for stopping by!
I graduated with a masters in UX Designer from Purdue University in May 2023. I was also a Teaching Assistant for Experience Studio from January 2022 to May 2023.
Currently, I'm busy designing enterprise software @ Honeywell.

As a designer, I aim to curate meaningful experiences and build sustainable products — products that create a positive impact & make a difference. This reflects in my passion for detailing ideas, considering the bigger picture and how my designs fit into it, and collaborating with others.

I enjoy expressing my ideas and experiences through sketching and comic-making. You can find some of it here.

‍
how did I end up in design?

My transition from Computer Engineering to UX design was a deliberate decision.

What drew me to UX design was the opportunity to design products that drive real-world impact and design the way people interact with technology.

Now, I leverage my knowledge about software systems and data models to make informed design decisions.
When I am designing - I am also asking questions like:
How can we streamline data flow? How can we reduce latency? And maybe even make those annoying empty states a little more bearable?
Because at the end of the day, design is all about making life easier for the people using our products.

I am a generalist. I enjoy doing research (and can get caught up in it) as much as I enjoy being creative on paper, on the whiteboard and on Figma!

interests

cool stuff that excites me.

futuristic ideas

I enjoy thinking about how tech will evolve and affect the human experience.
Ideating for futuristic concepts that push the boundaries of what's possible come naturally to me. Whether it's designing for augmented reality, the future of autonomous cars, or smart homes, I am always eager to reimagine how we live, work, and play.
‍

social networks & communities

Everything around us in one way or another facilitates the growth of human connections. I love studying how we form connections and how those connections impact us as humans. Some of my works in this space have been in the gig work industry and online communities.
‍

anything that ✨adds✨ to an experience

We as humans are a hodgepodge of experiences – some borrowed but mostly our own. As a designer, I have the opportunity to add delight to those experiences. Whether it's through a product, service, or environment, I love making experiences more fulfilling and enjoyable in an intentional way.

Reach out if you want to collaborate with me on any of these!
