ABOUT ME!
Growing up in a vast and culturally diverse city of Mumbai; India, I have been curious about understanding the different cultural practices and its importance and impacts on society. I like investing time in observing people and their interactions with their surrounding. It was only when I went through an acute ankle injury and had to depend on crutches for a year; I experienced the lack of inclusive design and the importance of empathy in solutions. Through my journey in design, I developed a strong belief that a valuable design is the one which empathetically connects to its users through their experiences, emotions, and stories.
As a designer, my sole purpose is to empower the users and community through purpose-driven, meaningful, seamless and delightful experiences. Through every new design challenge, I have learned to discover meaning in chaos and patience in ambiguity. I constantly strive to expand my comfort zone. I am passionate about sustainable development and ensure to develop a competitive balance between people, planet, profit and culture through my design solutions.
Volunteering is my favorite way to unwind. During a few of my volunteering experiences, I came across people whose stories have transformed and inspired me in wonderful ways. I believe there is something new to learn from every individual that I interact in my journey. It has made me a humble listener and more graceful while receiving productive feedback. Apart from volunteering, I invest time in exploring nature and reading books. I see myself as a student of life and would like to leverage my passion by collaborating and working with like-minded and purpose-driven professionals.
