Most people collect one discipline and go deep. I keep finding gaps between disciplines. This is where the most interesting problems lived.
I didn't plan to be a Product Designer. I planned to be an Artist.
18 years of Bharatanatyam, performing at national festivals across India, the US, and Ireland, taught me that every performance requires hundreds of iterations, and your job is to make someone feel something, not just see something.
I came to product design through Visual Communication, Interior Architecture, and a Master's in HCI with business courses at Kelley School of Business. Each discipline pointed at the same gap
This gap became my obsession. It's what I spent 6 years trying to close at Freshworks and Infosys. It's why I went back to school, pursuing my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at Indiana University, Bloomington.
I've never waited for someone to teach me a new medium.
I'm a self taught artist. Painting, sketching, anything art, you name it. Art taught me that every decision compounds. A wrong paint stroke doesn't erase, it becomes the constraint you design around
I made a video about my home in Kerala in 2022 that hit 11 million views and still gets views today
I think it worked because it was honest, about a place, a feeling, a way of life. Nobody had made quite that thing before. Understanding why something resonates with 11 million strangers and understanding why a design works for the person using it, turns out to be the same instinct.
Currently seeking
A Senior Product Design role where I can apply my experience in AI, enterprise systems, and behavioral design
to build products that people actually trust and use.
I didn't plan to end up here. I planned to be an artist.
Turns out the gap between how systems are built and how people experience them needed exactly that.
I didn't build this to prove I can design.
I built it to show how I think.
