As a product designer, I have developed an eye for solving complex problems using design. Most of my experience lies in B2B and B2B2C areas where I am experienced not only creating products that work well for users but also align properly with business goals. I help set the standard for quality, collaboration and education in design teams.

Working with people is an important skill in any line of work. And that is one thing I am very passionate about. Leading teams and creating positive team culture are two things I enjoy and I’ve often received praise in those areas. Being voted “The Brellaneer of the Year” in 2022 stands out as the most meaningful feedback I’ve ever received for my people skills.

Away from the screens, I am a Toastmaster, a public speaker. Be it talking at an event or a simple presentation at work, this experience has given me the confidence in communication to convey my ideas clearly to different audiences.

Having been a founding member and spending most of my career in start-ups of different stages have made me independent, adaptable, innovative and understanding the dynamics of success-driven, fast-paced work settings.
What else…
When I am not in deep thoughts of solving problems, I enjoy playing some badminton, taking photographs and admiring automobiles. To find out about my journey where cars meet photography, visit my profile on Glass.
