About Me
Welcome to my personal-professional website. I am a Musician by heart, and a Designer by profession or you can call me a design enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt. Yep, I've been around the design block for a while. I've tinkered with UX, web development, game design/development, public speaking, building products, heading teams and pretty much everything design-related.
Currently, I focus on design strategy, hands-on UX/Web design, storytelling, brand and product vision, hiring and mentoring design teams.
I love making things look good and work even better. From wireframes to polished mockups, I've had my hand in plenty of projects. Oh, and I've got a soft spot for mentoring new UX Designers – it's my way of giving back to the creative community.

This ensures seamless understanding of importance of design across verticals, along with design teams understanding the criticality of involvement of all the other teams for a project/product.
