I’m a human-centered researcher and service designer based in India, with an M.Des in Human Centered Design from Srishti. I specialize in systems thinking, participatory research, and behavior sensitive interventions across healthcare, sustainability & green energy, tech, architecture & construction sectors.
What connects all my work is a commitment to designing systems that empower people without simplifying their realities and holding space for nuance, dialogue and human complexity.
I’m now looking to contribute to an organization where design drives measurable value by bridging user & non user needs, systems thinking, and business outcomes.

Motivation
Design is how I make sense of the world. It allows me to decode complexity, reimagine relationships, and build new possibilities with others. I design not just to build, but to listen across silences, cultures, and systems.
After years of personal inquiry and formal training, I’ve come to realize that meaningful design isn’t about aesthetics or control, it’s about facilitation. About listening, holding space, and translating invisible dynamics into shared, embodied futures.
This Work section is just the start. My deeper questions live in the Lab.
More than a job, web design is an outlet for your vision. You have the power to take an idea from concept to reality. Your sites can tell a story, "show off a brand", or change lives.
As the web expands, so do the possibilities. You also have the flexibility to work remotely or in a fun agency setting. And nothing beats the rush of seeing your live sites in action.
