.about
I didn’t always know I wanted to be a designer. I started in fine arts, completely absorbed by color, shape, and the process of bringing a brand to life, whether it was a poster, a booklet, or a logo. Then, during my final year in college, I joined Infosys as a graphic designer, and that’s when everything changed. They introduced me to UX, and I realized how much I loved exploring the deeper “why” behind design. I became fascinated with asking questions, digging into human behavior, and staying curious. After a few years, I knew I needed to grow further, so I came to Indiana University to pursue a master’s in Human-Computer Interaction.
What excites me most now is unraveling complex workflows so that people can navigate them with ease. I’m also deeply committed to accessibility; I believe every design should be welcoming and usable by all. And when I’m not designing, you’ll find me surrounded by plants—I’m a total plant mom, and each evening I lose myself in their calm. I also love conversations—whether we’re talking about space, déjà vu, or how our brains shape memories. I’m always looking to connect over new ideas, because for me, design is about understanding people—and so is every conversation I have.
