I’m currently based in San Francisco, CA and I transitioned to UX design from architecture.
My previous experience designing buildings strengthened my understanding of user needs, built spaces, and designing within local regulations.
I am trained in the Indian classical dance ‘Bharatanatyam’ and have been a freelance artist for over 16 years. My process of creating art entails finding a concept; ideating; giving movements to those ideas, and then presenting it to the audience and reworking from their feedback. This process is cyclical and ever-evolving.
My passion for crafting human-centered experiences is a coming together of the artist, architect, and the human in me.
Having lived across 3 continents (Asia, Africa, and North America), I see many similarities and unique differences amongst humans. As a designer, I hope to create spaces and opportunities that bring- the user & the business/ the artist & the audience closer together.
Apart from breaking my head over color schemes or debriefing; I am a dog mom to an anxious rescue pup; a zero-waste aspirant. I love to read and write, documenting my ideas and protests (check out my Instagram). I also love watching movies based on real-life; History is definitely stranger than fiction! Am I right?
Currently binging on anything and everything archeology, anthropology & history.
