Still explaining to my relatives that I'm not a graphic designer.
I'm a 0 → 1 Product Designer with 4+ years of experience transforming ideas into scalable digital products. From early discovery and user research to polished interfaces and design systems, I enjoy building products that solve real problems and create lasting business value. Today, I design enterprise financial products at Cambridge Investment Research in the United States.
I enjoy solving complex problems more than decorating interfaces. Whether it's simplifying a workflow, improving accessibility, or building a design system from the ground up, I believe good design should feel effortless for the people using it.

MY PROCESS

MY PROCESS
Every project begins with curiosity.
Before opening Figma, I spend time understanding the problem, asking questions, and learning how users actually work. I enjoy mapping workflows, identifying friction points, validating assumptions, and collaborating with engineers early in the process.
For me, design isn't about creating attractive screens. It's about building products that feel intuitive, make people's work easier, and continue to scale long after they're shipped.

WHEN I'M NOT DESIGNING
I'm always exploring new AI tools, emerging design trends, and better ways to collaborate with teams. I believe the best designers never stop learning, because technology, products, and user expectations are constantly evolving.
Whether it's building a scalable design system, improving an enterprise workflow, or crafting a new digital product from scratch, I'm always excited to solve meaningful problems and create experiences people genuinely enjoy using.

UX Designer (Design System)
Cambridge Investment Research
Arizona, U.S
May 2026 - Present
When I joined Cambridge, product teams lacked a centralized design foundation. I led the creation of the company's first enterprise design system, building 100+ reusable components, 50+ design tokens, and comprehensive documentation that became the shared language for Design, Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams. Instead of solving individual UI problems, I focused on creating a scalable foundation that enables teams to build faster, collaborate more effectively, and deliver consistent enterprise financial products.

UX Designer Assistant
Edplus @Arizona State University
Arizona, U.S
Feb 2025 - May 2026
Educational platforms often struggle because information is overwhelming rather than difficult. At EdPlus, I redesigned learning experiences for Arizona State University Online by simplifying course workflows and improving accessibility through WCAG-first design. By identifying usability barriers and refining dashboard experiences, I helped create more inclusive digital products that allow students to focus on learning instead of navigating complex interfaces.

Research Aide
Arizona State University
Arizona, U.S
Aug 2025 - Feb 2025
Research fundamentally changed how I approach design. Working with eye-tracking technology, I learned that what users say and what users do are often very different. I designed usability studies, recruited participants, moderated research sessions, and synthesized qualitative and quantitative findings into actionable recommendations. These insights helped teams make product decisions backed by evidence rather than assumptions.

UX/UI Designer
Dcycle Design Studio
Ahmedabad, India
Jul 2022 - Nov 2023
This is where I built my foundation as a product designer. Working across healthcare, SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise software exposed me to diverse business models, user behaviors, and technical constraints. I designed websites, mobile applications, dashboards, and digital products from discovery through developer handoff, learning how to adapt my design process instead of relying on the same solution every time.
