ABOUT –
ABOUT –

I'm a creative digital designer, illustrator and sneakerhead with a passion for all sorts of design. I'm very enthusiastic and well versed in the UX design process with 3+ years of experience in the design industry.

I'm currently living in Pune, Maharashtra. My hobbies include playing music, bingeing Netflix like a true millennial, travelling and exploring various food cultures, collecting sneakers, illustration and obsessing over anything design.

My core belief is that any sort of design is a collaborative, two-way process. Design is always considered as function of engineering but I believe that design is the connecting bridge between humanity and engineering. I also believe that no design process is ever fully complete and is constantly under progress. For this progress user feedback and collaboration is very crucial. I value storytelling while considering human-based design, so I’m able to explore new ways brands can connect with people. I'm constantly gathering inspiration and searching for innovative ideas. Some of my favourite designers are Paul Rand, Tinker Hatfield, Ian Spalter, Paula Scher and Ralph Gilles.
