On the face of it, I was once an aerospace design engineer who is now a UX designer. At the heart of it, I'm simply someone who loves to turn creative ideas into tangible experiences.
After dabbling in multiple disciplines, I've acquired a unique, human-first approach to design. I constantly toggle between a bird's-eye view and a microscopic lens to tackle design problems. It’s what makes my work human centered while questioning if it makes sense for the business.
As a leader, I believe in giving my team the space they need to think, learn, and grow, which is why problem-solving skills trump tool proficiency. After all, it’s this philosophy that allows us to not just create business solutions but genuinely delight users.
Inspiration, for me, is a continuous process. It lurks in the pages of Golden Krishna's "The Best Interface is No Interface," resonates in the design philosophies of Stefan Sagmeister and Paula Scher

When I’m not designing:
When I am not designing, I am most likely behind a camera, creating stories within a frame. I seek joy in the interplay of light and shadow, a parallel universe that enriches my understanding of the world.
Cinema, too, is a deep well of inspiration. The brilliant storytelling of Emmanuel Lubeski and Denis Villeneuve, and exceptional directors from my home state like Satyan Anthikad, Lijo Jose Pellishery & Dileesh Pothan have greatly influenced my work and worldview. Their work feeds my visual aesthetics, shaping my philosophy for life, design and beyond.
