What I Do
User Experience Design
User Experience Design is vital to building the digital products users love. I blend user insights with my creative design process to craft meaningful and profitable products to help enterprises succeed in both B to B & B to C domains. I have designed more than 30 applications in both consumer & business domains.
Design System for Digital Products
Are you looking to create a cohesive Design System that understands the needs of your organization? I craft components and interaction patterns that minimize inconsistencies in usage, allowing for optimized efforts while designing at a large scale.
I have hands-on experience working with Samsung Tizen & SAP Fiori design systems.
Photography & Visual Storytelling
As a User Experience Designer, I strive to tell a visual story through my images. My beautifully composed photographs convey the right message in a visually elegant way. My work stood 1st in a global photography competition held by SAP.
Design Education
I have been passionate about design for many years, and I love to share my learnings and experiences with the community. I do this in various forms such as teaching, blogging, book writing, publishing research papers at international conferences and conducting hands-on workshops. I have conducted courses around Usability Testing & Design Research in various universities like National Institute of Design, Chitkara School of Design & J K Lakshmipat University.
Design for Social Cause
I believe in the power of design to bring about profound change. The design has the ability to shape social behavior and can be used as a tool to build problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. I use design as a key to solving local issues that are rooted deeply in cultural practices.
Designing for Gen AI
From my hands-on experience with Gen AI, I have created various process frameworks & design workshops to help the design community build human-centric & ethical Gen AI products with the right collaboration strategy.

Enterprise Scanning
In several enterprise usecases, manual data entry can be a tedious task, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. That's why we developed our innovative scanning solution that can help business streamline operations and save time. My project was to first study various scanning relevant use-cases and then come up with a scalable design to handle them intuitively across the devices. I also came up with hueristics for other designers to handle such use cases with upmost usability.
