As a designer, I'm patient, empathetic and bold.

I thrive on collaborating with smart individuals to build efficient design-led products from scratch. As a teammate, I always ask questions about the how, why, and why not and bring a unique multidisciplinary perspective (advertising, CS, UX) to every product conversation.

While @ UT Austin, I stumbled into product design when I was given a website refresh project. Putting myself in the user's shoes and finding UX improvements came naturally to me. After doing some research on the emerging industry (and persuading my Indian parents), I decided to leave the pre-med track and take my career in product design more seriously.

Since there was no formal UX major at UT Austin, I taught myself Figma and Sketch. I sat in on Masters' level UX classes. I started a certificate in computer science. I immersed myself in the real-world design process through multiple unpaid internships at early-stage startups where I learned about creating and maintaining design systems, conducting user testing, powerful prototyping, and more. I fell in love with the balance of problem-solving and creative work.

Along the way, I was fortunate to find some incredible mentors who recognized my potential and helped me grow. Looking back, I'm so proud of where I've made it today-working as a senior product designer.

Now, I'm eager to find a bigger and better opportunity.
