About
Main bio
I spend my days designing for AI-powered platforms, learning tools, and large-scale content experiences where 'just figure it out' isn't an option. The people using these products are busy, have real goals to hit, and actual work to do. My job is to get out of their way.
I've worked on teams of two and teams of twenty. I've shipped designs with six months of research and I've shipped them with a gut feeling and a deadline. I've inherited broken component libraries and I've built design systems from scratch. What stays consistent is caring about the craft, asking the uncomfortable questions, and making sure the thing we ship actually works for the person using it.
Currently, I'm at Salesforce working on AI-powered search and discovery for Trailhead's 3M+ learners. Before that, I spent nearly three years at ZEE5 designing for one of India's largest streaming platforms and discovering that content discoverability is a much harder problem than it looks, which I deeply respect.
it's me
dive into my work
Why before wireframes
Before I touch Figma, I want to know what problem we're actually solving. Not the stated problem, the real one underneath it. My favorite projects start with a question nobody asked yet and end with a solution that feels like it was always obvious.
think first, draw later.
no perfect world here!
Good calls, bad conditions
Perfect conditions are a myth. Timelines slip, legacy systems bite back, and sometimes you can't talk to a single user. I'm comfortable making sharp decisions with imperfect information, same way a good batsman reads a tricky pitch. You don't always get a clean delivery.
No hero designers here
The best design I've ever done happened in a conversation, not in isolation. When designers, engineers, and product people are actually talking, not passing files over a wall, that's when things get interesting. I like the messy middle of figuring it out together.
we, not me.
details build trust.
The kerning matters
The details nobody notices are doing the most work. The kerning that makes copy feel trustworthy. The micro-interaction that confirms something worked. The empty state that doesn't panic the user. Typography taught me that, the best type is the kind you don't consciously read.
