Get to Know me !
Growing up in a country that’s home to 20% of the world’s population, I was surrounded by a kaleidoscope of cultures, challenges, and aspirations. This diversity sparked my curiosity and shaped my approach to design—blending creativity with a solid dose of logic. I kicked off my design journey at the MIT Institute of Design, Pune, where I graduated with a focus on creating meaningful, user-centered experiences.
​
I’ve had the chance to work with some incredible agencies like Foley Designs, Future Factory, and Lollypop Design Studio, as well as big players like Microsoft India and Tata Digital. My design experience spans digital products, branding, packaging, and much more—every project is a new opportunity to craft something impactful.
​
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes or exploring new cuisines (I’m a big foodie at heart). I’m also a travel enthusiast, always on the lookout for new places, new experiences, and, of course, new flavors! I believe in creating moments that stick, whether it's through food, design, or travel.
