lil' bit about me

I was a creative & curious kid asking too much "why?" questions to my parents, so after growing up I thought of making a career out of it.

✍️ I love visual design, art and doodling - as a UXer, I love storytelling impactful stories through these mediums.
‍
🖥  I did my undergrad in Computer science which makes me well aware of technical constraints around design and also makes me work effectively with software engineers.
‍
🐶 I am an animal welfare enthusiast and was the Head of Social media and design for 2 years at The Pawsome People Project. which helped me cultivate empathy for other beings, making me a good UXer.
‍
⛰️ I love the Pacific Northwest and can't get enough of it. Nature reminds me to relax for a minute and see things from a wider perspective.

I was featured in these!

and, I write too.
