My Currents
Based in Seattle 📍

I'm also working on some side projects! 👩🏻💻
• freelance studio project
A Product Designer who strives to create impactful experiences, and to design realistically by being comfortable with complex constraints. Previously, I worked with Cambia Health, Seattle Children's Hospital, UW Medicine & Microsoft.
I’m passionate about creating an emotional connection between products & people 💖
I found my passion for design while teaching women in rural areas, back when I was pursuing computer engineering. I fell in love with their reactions when interacting with technology, whether it was watching videos or learning how to use a phone. The way their eyes lit up and the infectious laughter they shared with their families is something I strive to recreate.
Now as a product designer, I want to make people feel the same delight those women felt when they discovered different learning mediums with every product I get the pleasure of working on.
Through my education and work experience, I love connecting the dots between business goals, technical constraints and user satisfaction. A background in UX design, Interactive Media and software development gives me experience at every stage of the product development cycle.
With that being said, I’m an extroverted introvert thriving in a world of boundless creative possibilities. I grew up in a family of 110 people in India (I know I know...that's a lot 🙈) and my ability to quickly adjust to new challenges in life comes from that. Owing to my diverse upbringing, I embrace all walks of life and try to bring it to the designs I create.
