I work across strategy, research, and UI. Mostly on products where the brief is incomplete, the problem is unnamed, and someone needs to define both before a single screen gets designed. That's the part I'm drawn to, the ambiguity before the clarity, the moment where a vague problem becomes a solvable one.

I'm also quietly building something of my own. An AI product, still in progress, because I couldn't find a version of it that already existed and that bothered me enough to do something about it.

Outside work: aimless drives, coffee I take too seriously, and overanalyzing every interaction I have like menus, checkout flows, signage, door handles that should be pushed but have a pull sign. Not a habit I chose. Just one I can't turn off.

Chicago kept me because of its architecture, its food, and the kind of city diversity that means you're never eating the same cuisine twice in a week. Mysore is home. Chicago is where I built one.

I don't stop until I find what I'm actually looking for. In work, in design, in life - that's not a value I perform. It's just how I operate.
