Hello!
Bonjour!
Namaste!
Sat Sri Akal!
Previously worked at NTT DATA Services, FIS Global, Capgemini, Exela Technologies and more.

I believe good design should make life feel calmer, kinder, and a little more human.
What started with posters, small websites, and quick mockups has grown into designing full-scale product experiences for governments, startups, and fintech teams. I enjoy stepping into messy, complex problems and slowly shaping them into experiences that feel clear, thoughtful, and easy to use. The real thrill is when something complicated suddenly feels simple to the person using it.
Lately, I have been exploring the space where AI meets creativity. I use tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney to think faster, test ideas earlier, and turn rough imagination into something tangible. For me, AI is not a shortcut. It is a creative partner that helps me ask better questions and design with more intention.
I currently work part-time at Best Buy as a Solutions Advisor, closely aligned with Geek Squad work. I genuinely enjoy talking with people, understanding their needs, and translating tech jargon into clear, confident decisions. Fun fact: I often troubleshoot customer devices the same way I debug design systems. I listen first, identify the root problem, test small fixes, and only then recommend the right solution. One day, I am helping recover data or set up a laptop. The next day, I am explaining why a PS5 disc edition is the smarter long-term choice. That mindset comes straight from years of product and UX design.
Outside of work, I am a family person who loves spending time with my kid, squeezing in a bit of gaming to unwind, and tinkering with my Cricut machine, rug tufting projects, and old gadgets that I repair and flip for fun and sometimes profit. Curiosity drives almost everything I do, even if my family thinks I talk about tech a little too much.
I am also a photographer who loves capturing everyday stillness. Quiet streets after rain, people lost in thought, sunlight through windows, and candid moments that tell honest stories. Photography keeps me grounded. It teaches me patience, composition, and how emotion can live in small details. It is another way I practice storytelling beyond screens and interfaces.
For me, design is not just about pixels or prototypes. It is about curiosity, connection, and creating things that feel meaningful, on the screen, in people’s hands, and in everyday life.
