More About Me
My Background
I am from New Delhi, India and I have been fortunate enough to travel and live in various parts of the world since I was a child. A lifelong passion for arts and design led me to earn a Graphic Design degree from MIT Institute of Design, India. I did a lot of Branding work in my early career days before I moved into full-fledged Product Design. I still use my graphic design skills on products I build!
As a Product Design Professional
Through years of design experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the entire product lifecycle, effectively bridging the gap between user needs and business goals. The ability to adapt to changing circumstances and deliver optimal solutions is crucial in today's fast-paced market. Adaptability coupled with a problem solving approach is what helps us build great products while being a team player. I’ve been successful in designing many white labeled solutions due to my strong inclination towards scalability, and I achieve that by always having system’s thinking in place. By building strong adaptable systems, we scale with sanity!
As a Design Leader
The fundamentals of my leadership style is deeply rooted in thinking of others before self - that’s what builds a great team. Our intent should always be in the right place. I have been working globally throughout my career and have moved countries, this has taught me to value differences and uniqueness of people. Meeting various people from across the globe has empowered me to become an inclusive leader and that’s what I am known as among my team.
On a more professional front, management is something that we always continue to learn. I read books, attend workshops/classes, take mentorship from senior leaders and continue to evolve in my life-long leadership and management journey.
As a Human
I consider myself a patient person who is always ready to listen to anyone who wants to share their thoughts. I believe in treating everyone with equal respect, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Outside of work, I have a passion for photography, especially capturing stories through images. I'm an avid reader of non-fiction, with a focus on philosophy, and I’m an early riser who enjoys starting the day with meditation.
There is a lot in this world to see, explore and learn!
