A problem-solver by wiring, a designer by choice. Figuring things out has always been my default, give me a hard problem and a good reason to care, and I'm all in.
Analytical. Outcome-driven. Highly collaborative.

— MY STORY —
I'm a designer based in Bengaluru, an engineer by background. I currently design for Zoomcar, owning the guest side experience from discovery, search to post booking. It is a strange path that got me here, though.
I wasn’t the kid sketching in the margins, I could barely draw. If anything, I was headed for engineering, my whole world was problem-solving, just the equation kind.
Back in school, two things had me completely cricket and PC games. I poured a ridiculous number of hours into Prince of Persia, Need for Speed, GTA, the whole lot. Looking back, that was the first time I fell for worlds someone had carefully built for me to move through, and how completely a good one could pull you in and make you forget it was built at all. I never thought of it as design, but it was the first time I cared about how something was made.
Design crept in sideways during my engineering days. I was supposed to be heads-down in code, but I kept drifting into photography, into making things, into anything that let me shape how something looked and felt. It took me a while to admit it, but that was the part I actually cared about, and one rabbit hole led to another until I hit UXD. When I finally tried it for real, everything clicked. I had stumbled, almost by accident, into the field that needed exactly how my brain already worked.

Across both Zoomcar & Teachmint, I've shipped everything from 0→1 products to large-scale redesigns and delivered outcomes the business could feel.
But the part I value the most is the people, I've been genuinely privileged to build alongside sharp designers, engineers, and founders who raised my bar just by being in the room. Most of what I know, I learned from them often by getting things wrong first, then watching how they got it right.

They taught me more about patience than anything, learning, unlearning, getting plenty wrong, and getting a little better each time.

Editing my travel photos
Editing my travel photos
I’ve got a drive full of unedited shots from years of trips. One day I’ll pull out the best and finally make something of them.

The to-read list is embarrassingly long and only goes one direction. One day I'll stop adding and start reading.

Its been on my list for years. Something about it just pulls me.
