My story ↓
Growing up in India, I was always fascinated by technology and how it could shape people's lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, and later a master's in Human-Computer Interaction where I not only honed my technical skills, but also discovered my passion for design.
Throughout my career, I have worked on a variety of projects and teams, including building a new 0 to 1 gaming product at Stadia, designing innovative concepts for autonomous vehicles at IDEO + Ford labs, and reimagining UX AI search and mobile at Google Workspace. I'm currently a Design Lead with the Enterprise XD team at Netflix.
With a focus on business strategy and systems thinking, I have developed strong skills in design research, front-end development, prototyping, and user testing. My goal has always been to help align the team around a common vision and ensure that the product is designed with a clear purpose and meets the needs of the target audience.
In addition to my work, I'm passionate about advising startups, mentoring aspiring designers, public speaking, photography and finding last-minute adventures.

Design process
User experience design is much more than what meets the eye. I collaborate with my team on all aspects of an user's interaction with a company and its products.
Strategize
Explore the problem as deeply as possible. Understand the needs of the users and business, the context and the competition.
Iterate
Generate as many ideas as possible. Do not be afraid to experiment and try out new ideas. Sketch, create wireframes, build prototypes.
Launch
Test feasibility of the product and get feedback from users. Be prepared to make changes to the product based on the feedback.
Measure
The design process is never really finished. Use metrics and data to iterate and improve the product and its performance.

Things I love ↓
Talks and mentorship
I'm grateful for all the mentorship and guidance when I started my career in design and would love to pay it forward by helping others who are just starting out. I'm also passionate about sharing my knowledge, moderating talks or presenting at design conferences on topics in emerging tech and career growth.
Sci-fi and anime
I love the escapism of science fiction, and the way it can transport me to another world. Anime is another great way to relax and unwind, and I enjoy the challenge of trying to understand complex plots and interesting characters.
Blog and writing
During college, I started documenting about my learnings by creating a blog on Medium. Sharing my learnings helped me to better understand the concepts I was learning, and it also helped me to connect with other designers. I write about my experience and also shared my projects and ideas.
My articles have been published in blogs like Prototypr, The UX Blog and UX Collective.
Photography
Photography allows me to capture a moment, tell a story and evoke emotions. Photos I've uploaded on Unsplash have 2.5 million+ views and 11k+ downloads.
