Always Curious • UX GEEK • Creative Problem Solver

Born and raised in Mumbai, India, I am currently based in Toronto, Canada. With over 5 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with renowned companies such as Shopify, Facebook, Sidewalk Labs, and startups such as Nylas, Peggy and Universe, where I have honed my skills and gained invaluable design experience.

Passionate about the potential of design to inspire and motivate, I am dedicated to leveraging creative problem-solving and a human-centered design approach to create efficient and dynamic digital experiences that are accessible and inclusive for all. I firmly believe that a seamless user experience emerges from a deep understanding of the intersection between design, business, technology, and user needs.

As a self-motivated designer, I thrive on new challenges and opportunities that allow me to further develop and grow in my craft. By continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and staying up to date with industry trends, I am committed to delivering exceptional design solutions that captivate and engage users.

Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio! 🙏
