I am a Product designer with a background in science, arts and HCI. I studied Chemistry during my undergrad at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. Although I had fun mixing chemicals during my undergrad, I realized that my true passion lies in design and decided to solve problems using design for the rest of my life.

I love that UX design hits the sweet spot of having a perfect combination of creativity and analytical thinking, and I like how it gives me an opportunity to rapidly innovate and create solutions.

My approach to design is user centered and iterative. My biggest strengths are always staying curious, aligning user and business needs, and having a problem solving mindset. I am a facilitator and thrive in a collaborative environment where everyone is passionate about solving problems aligned towards a bigger mission.

As a designer I am always learning and growing. To stay updated and inspired, I listen to podcasts and read articles online.

My go-to podcasts include the following: Design Details , 99% Invisible, Product Breakfast Club , and New Layer . 

My reading list includes Nielsen Norman Group,  UX Collective,  UX Magazine,  Luke Wroblewski's blog and endless articles on Medium.

When I am not working, you will find me staring at my plants, doodling, painting, or trying a new craft. I love watching videos by Vox, CrashCourse and Kurzgesagt, and pondering about the meaning of life (I want to believe its 42!).
