Who I am beyond Design
A blend of global perspectives, a lover of quick wit, and a believer in the power of a genuine conversation.
My philosophy? Life is best lived in the spaces between the noise. I find my balance in the intentional rituals: the quiet focus during a morning workout, the peaceful chaos of a park in the evening, and the genuine connections made when we stop to really listen to one another's stories.
My North Stars
The principles that keep me grounded in how I approach work, people, and decisions.
My Story
My journey has been defined by a series of intentional pivots, each requiring a new level of adaptability. Growing up in the UAE 🇦🇪 and moving to India 🇮🇳 for my undergrad meant I was constantly learning how to navigate new cultures and different perspectives long before I started my career.
After graduating in Electronics Engineering, I taught myself to code and began my career as a developer. However, another pivot into leading a project as a Product Designer changed everything. I realized that while I loved the ‘how’ of building things, I was even more drawn to the ‘why’ ie; the people using them.
This realization led me to the UK 🇬🇧 to pursue my Master’s at Loughborough University. Today, I use my engineering foundation to understand technical constraints and my UX training to advocate for the user. I’m a firm believer that the best design happens at the intersection of a sharp analytical mind and a deeply empathetic heart.
Pivoting back to the work.
I’m always looking for a new perspective. Whether you want to share a travel story, a random fact you’ve just learned, or even a bad joke. If you’re up for it, I’d love to hear your story.
I’m currently looking for my next challenge with a team that values curiosity and the passion to build products that bring a smile. If you think my mix of technical logic and human-centered design is what your project needs, let’s keep the conversation going. You can find me on LinkedIn. I’m always up for a chat and a cup of tea.
