An an intuitive UX designer, with an affinity to interact with people sometimes over a cup of coffee, most times by designing smart, simple, and clean solutions for the benefit of the end-customers.
Over the last 4 years, I have come across various opportunities that have helped me visualize and build products and experiences that try to make life a little easier for humankind.
Through my portfolio, you would get to know the way I interweave my passion for ethical design with my UX research capabilities to benefit and empower communities across the globe.
Apart from my work, I truly enjoy exercising and exploring different parts of the world and trying out their palatable cuisines.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every part of my experience discovering the "whys" to the "whats" of design, and now I can't wait to share more about this impeccable journey with you.
