A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist. - R. Buckminster Fuller
Who am I?
I am a multidisciplinary designer. I graduated with Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Kingston University, UK. Recently, I decided to swap blueprints for wireframes and ventured into UX Design at Career Foundry. Surprisingly, designing intuitive user experiences isn’t much different from organising spaces—both require empathy, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to make people feel right at home.
Past Career
Before transitioning to UX Design, I served as the sole marketing and communication designer for a medium-sized business. Being the only employee from a non-native culture and not speaking the local language made the experience challenging yet fulfilling. This role sharpened my skills in conveying messages effectively and adapting to different cultural and professional environments.
Personal History
Growing up in India, studying and working in London, and now navigating life in Germany, I've picked up a unique perspective along the way. I've traveled to a fair number of countries from Southeast Asia to Africa—though I think my passport could use a bit more love! My amateur photography hobby has transformed from capturing landscapes to chasing my daughter’s many expressions, who is now my favorite muse. Since taking parental leave in 2020, I’ve been balancing student life with parenthood, discovering that creativity can thrive in the chaos of bedtime stories and impromptu playdates. I also love concocting creative activities to keep her engaged!
