My Design Journey

I’ve spent the last 12 years exploring design from multiple perspectives. My journey began in architecture, where I was captivated by how spaces shape human behaviour. In my final-year thesis, a chance meeting with Prof. M.P. Ranjan at NID Ahmedabad introduced me to design thinking—and I applied it directly to my project. After graduating, I practiced architecture at both boutique studios and large consultancies, until a growing curiosity led me to UI/UX. I taught myself interface design and Figma, then sharpened my skills with a one‑year Product Design course at Designlab (U.S.). Today, I consult independently, guided by Don Norman’s iterative ethos: prototype, test, refine. I thrive on feedback, adapt quickly, and—being a divergent thinker—generate plenty of ideas, ready to reshape or replace them in pursuit of truly user‑centered solutions.
