My evolution as Designer

My journey as a designer has been a transformative evolution, shaped by curiosity, creativity, and a relentless drive to explore new horizons. It began at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, where I studied Architecture—a discipline that taught me to think spatially, balance form and function, and understand the profound impact of design on human experiences. Those years were foundational, instilling in me a deep appreciation for storytelling through structures and the interplay of aesthetics and utility.

However, as gained deeper knowledge, I realized my passion lay not just in designing physical spaces but in crafting experiences that connect people with technology and the world around them.

This realization led me to Interaction Design at IDC, IIT Bombay, where I now immerse myself in the dynamic world of user-centered design, digital interfaces, and human behavior. The shift from architecture to interaction design has been both challenging and exhilarating, pushing me to think beyond tangible forms and embrace the intangibleemotions, interactions, and seamless usability. Today, I see myself as a bridge between the physical and digital realms, constantly evolving, learning, and striving to create meaningful, human-centric designs that resonate deeply with users.

Skills

User Research

I rely on user research—interviews, surveys, and testing—to uncover insights and guide intuitive, user-centered designs

Wireframing and Prototyping

I turn ideas into tangible designs, from wireframes to interactive prototypes.

Information Architecture (IA)

I excel at organizing complex information into intuitive structures, crafting sitemaps and user flows for seamless navigation

Analytical and Problem Solving Skills

I analyze user data to uncover pain points, solving problems with empathy and creativity for effective, user-friendly designs.

Adaptability and Continuous Learning

I embrace the evolving design world, staying updated with trends and tools, and thrive on feedback to keep learning and growing.

Project Management

I manage design projects end-to-end, organizing tasks, setting milestones, and collaborating to balance creativity and delivery.

Empathy and User Advocacy

Empathy drives my design process. I advocate for users while balancing business goals and technical constraints.

Usability and Accessibility

I design for everyone, ensuring inclusivity and usability by following accessibility standards like WCAG.
