BACKGROUND
I like to create meaningful experiences that are relatable
With 9+ years of experience, I have worked in organizations large and small. I live by “never stop learning” and throughout my career I have collected skills and learnings by closely collaborating with many amazing people.
I am a traditionally trained designer and I hold Bachelors in Product Design from MIT Institute of Design in India and a post graduation in Interactive Media Management from George Brown College, Canada.
I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband and thoroughly enjoy baking, camping and connecting with new people.
Methodology I leverage design thinking methodologies to provide consulting services to a variety of clients. By empathizing with users and breaking down complex information, I have helped large and small companies create innovative solutions and deliver well-made experiences.
Work Style As a UX designer, I excel in dynamic environments. I love to mentor junior designers and learn from my team. My strategic mindset, combined with good communication and stakeholder management skills, enables me to align design initiatives with business objectives.
