I'm a product designer based in Chicago 🇺🇸, originally from Mysore 🇮🇳, where I grew up.

I’m a Product Designer with 4+ years of experience and 13+ projects across strategy, research, and UI. I usually find myself starting before the brief makes much sense yet. I’m drawn to projects with an unnamed problem more than ones with a clear spec, because that’s where the real work begins: figuring out what’s actually being asked before anyone starts designing screens.

Outside of work, I’m the person taking the long way home for no reason, chasing down a good cup of specialty coffee, or stopping mid-walk because a building’s facade caught my eye. Chicago made that last one easy. Its architecture is a big part of why the city stuck with me, along with the food and the way so many different worlds fit into one place.

I notice the same things in the small stuff, too: menus, checkout flows, signage, door handles. If something’s badly designed, I clock it. And if I’m curious about something, I don’t really stop until I figure it out.
