About me
I love creating experiences that connects with people on a deeper level whether its sketching ideas on paper or bringing them to life on a screen . I have a natural curiosity that always pushes me to explore, investigate and learn what I don’t know. This is also reflected in my personality as a designer.
Art and creativity started early in my life , from doodling in my notebooks during school lectures to performing on stage as a theatre artist , which has evolved me into a career that blends storytelling an design.
My designs are deeply inspired by nature and the people around me. Growing up in India, with its diverse landscapes, has profoundly shaped how I see and create.
My journey began with a Bachelor’s in Mass Communication and Journalism, where I was fascinated by how media can both bring people together and create divides. This insight inspired me to believe that creation is a powerful way for individuals to express themselves and make meaningful contributions toward a more beautiful world.
At McKinsey & Company, I mastered the art of design precision—perfect formatting, alignment, and structure. But I wanted more than just designing presentations for clients.
I moved to Glasgow to pursue Master’s in User Experience and Interaction Design. It’s here that I’ve honed my skills and continued my journey of blending creativity with meaningful user-centered design.
Now, I’m living , playing and creating in Glasgow
