I'm a Product Designer with 4+ years of experience building consumer and B2B SaaS products. I'm a big picture thinker with a strong focus on digital craft.

Currently, I'm designing Skeema, a productivity tool to manage tasks & information on the browser. Previously, I was a Senior Product Designer at Unacademy, building products for creators. Before that I was at Designit and freelancing in the Bangalore startup ecosystem.

I blend my background in HCI methods & visual design. I went to Carnegie Mellon University for a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and the National Institute of Design - Ahmedabad for a Bachelor's in Graphic Design.
