About me 

Design for me is about storytelling. Through my work, I try to implement design principles that are naturally seen like color blocking, street navigation patterns, and architectural layering among others.

​

With my design experience, I have come to a position where I understand how business, technology, and design need to be in good balance to make the product feel valuable. In the next chapter of my career, I am looking forward to taking roles in design leadership and defining strategies for the product that also feels delightful.

​

Other than work, I enjoy spending time watching movies, dancing, working out, and cooking recipes from YouTube. :)

Presenting a talk for Cisco TechTalks giving insights on how AI has influenced design culture.
