ABOUT

MY STORy

About

I'm passionate about using design to improve experiences and drive positive outcomes. I embrace collaboration and thrive in fast-paced environments.

I've designed solutions for diverse industries, ranging from tech startups to established companies, tackling complex challenges for rapidly growing businesses.  My focus is on understanding user needs to drive impactful design. I  spearheaded user research at an Indian e-commerce company, analyzing metrics and conducting A/B testing to uncover pain points and inform the product roadmap.

I also collaborated on a mobile app feature tailored to the Indian market, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Additionally, I modernized a marketplace platform, revamping interfaces for boosted conversion rates. Previously, I optimized onboarding and streamlined workflows for a fast-paced startup.

PASSION

Finding the opportunity to change the status quo. As someone who moved to the U.S. as an immigrant, I had to rediscover myself as someone who was so new to the environment around me.

Having to learn how be fluent in English and making new friends is similar to how I learned the language that is ux design. To fuel my creativity I discovered aspects of myself throughout the years, whether it was dancing, photography, or theater.

Today as a user experience designer, art is what motivates me to find solutions for users. It allows me to explore in-depth, to know the power of aesthetics, to influence the user experience, and thus leads me to design elegant and usable interfaces.
