About Me

About_Me.png

I blend technical expertise with creativity to solve problems with empathy.

🌟Starting my multicultural design journey—born in Dubai, of Indian heritage, and now living in Canada—gives me a unique perspective to craft user experiences that resonate globally. 

​

From publishing research with IEEE & winning global competitions, to creating accessible human-centered experiences across borders, I thrive on understanding people and turning insights into intuitive, impactful design.

When I’m not designing, I’m out with my camera, capturing life’s beauty one shot at a time — & bringing that fresh perspective into my work.🌟

 

Fun Fact: I am also *somewhat* famous for cooking amazing stuffed cheese mushrooms! 🍄

My UX Superpowers!

I love problem solving.

I keep an equity focused cultural outlook to designing.

I enjoy communicating & listening.

I'm an empathetic thinker with an analytical edge.
