About

Behind every great design lies
an even better story

With a diverse background spanning design consultancies, Fortune 500 corporates, tech start-ups, and IT companies, I have cultivated a well-rounded expertise in the field of design. My career began with a service-based startup, where I immersed myself in the world of UI and UX design while honing my client communication skills.

Transitioning to a large service based (Client model outsourcing) offshore company, I assumed the role of a UI/UX Designer, leading a team of 8 individuals and taking charge of end-to-end product delivery. Responsible for conceptualization and execution, I ensured that each project met and exceeded client expectations.

Currently, as a Senior UX Designer at Thales R&D department, I am entrusted with conducting thorough user research, crafting innovative product designs, and performing rigorous user testing to optimize the user experience. Additionally, I actively manage stakeholder relationships, aligning project objectives with business goals.
