Design with passion, empathy and curiosity.
I often wonder how design goes far beyond ink and paper, and permeates into real life experiences that change the way we do everyday things.
I believe that good design is obvious, and great design is transparent. My time in university not only helped me understand the fundamentals of human-centered design, but also helped in gaining exposure to diverse fields such as Embodied Interaction, Game Design and Augmented and Mixed Reality.
Designing for the enterprise has given me exposure to solving problems for a myriad of industries such as Marketing, Finance, GRC, and Sports and Entertainment. I’m passionate about driving a human-centered design process to solve problems that create lasting impact, design products at the intersection of UX, technology and the business, and empower people with technology to run their businesses better.
Outside of work, I find myself discovering new running and biking trails in the San Francisco Bay area, or planning my next adventure while listening to thought-provoking podcasts.
