I’m a Senior Design Professional with 15 years of experience across diverse industries, specialising in developing simple, meaningful, and purpose-led design outcomes.

I come from the vibrant city of Mumbai — a place defined by its energy, rich cultural diversity, and striking visual contrasts. Growing up in such a complex environment shaped my perspective and helped me recognize the value of clarity, simplicity, and effective problem-solving.

Beyond my passion for design and typography, I enjoy gaming and photography. I place great importance on language and view typography as a powerful tool that elevates communication.

I am also known for my strong sense of order and structure — an attention to organization that often translates into my work.

Design philosophy

Strategy + Creativity

The most effective digital brand and product experiences are created at the intersection of strategic clarity and creative excellence. I lead with insight, define clear design direction, and ensure every outcome balances business goals, user needs, and long-term scalability.

I have a strong background in leading multidisciplinary teams, improving creative operations, and partnering with stakeholders to provide high-quality, user-centred outcomes at scale.
