What drives my work
I'm drawn to design problems that require both analytical thinking and creative problem-solving. My background in finance and business gives me a strong foundation in understanding user behavior and business impact. But what really lights me up is finding that perfect solution—the one where everything clicks for the user, the business, and the technology all at once.
I believe the best design happens through collaboration. I work closely with product managers to understand goals, with engineers to navigate constraints, and with users to test assumptions. I ask a lot of questions, iterate quickly, and stay curious about what's working and what's not.
My process
I start with understanding—who are we designing for, what problem are we solving, and why does it matter? From there, I move through research, flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity design, always keeping the door open for feedback and iteration. I'm comfortable with ambiguity in the early stages, but I also know how to bring structure when it's time to ship. Beyond design
When I'm not designing,
I'm usually painting. I work with abstract art—color, texture, composition—which keeps my visual eye sharp and reminds me that design isn't just logic and grids. It's also about feeling, rhythm, and knowing when something just works. I'm currently based in Munich, speak English, Hindi, and German, and am always open to new opportunities and conversations.
