I was born in a 200-year-old house in India, where I first discovered my love for design.
Growing up around old objects and lived-in spaces, I became curious about how environments shape our experiences. That interest led me to study interior architecture at UCLA, where I learned how structure, detail, and empathy come together to support the way people move, feel, and connect.
When I started designing digital products, the shift felt surprisingly natural. I was still working with flows, structure, and problem-solving, just on a screen instead of in a room. I’ve learned that even the most complex problems become more approachable when I start small—breaking things down, mapping them out, and gradually building clarity through design.
Working in fast-moving teams across both architecture and tech has taught me to adapt quickly, communicate openly, and collaborate across disciplines. I enjoy bringing structure to messy ideas and working closely with others to build something thoughtful and useful.
Outside of work, I recharge by spending time in nature, visiting museums, or noticing the kinds of details that often go overlooked. That curiosity keeps me grounded and keeps me designing.
