ABOUT ME
I've always been drawn to the moment an idea becomes visible. When something abstract takes shape and starts to move people. That instinct has carried me from a Big 4 design studio in Mumbai to building a B2B SaaS brand from the ground up in London, through an acquisition, and out the other side.
I care about work that goes beyond aesthetics. Design that connects, tells a story, and drives a measurable outcome. I think in systems, design with purpose, and work best when I can take an idea from concept to camera to conversion without the original thought getting lost along the way.
I hold an MA in Design for Social Innovation and Sustainable Futures from London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, and a BDes in Communication Design from Symbiosis Institute of Design, Pune. That combination of social innovation thinking and visual communication training shapes how I approach every project: human-centred, systems-led, and always with one eye on why the work matters beyond the brief.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably thinking about how design can drive meaningful change through sustainable impact.
