Experience

Hello, I’m a Designer with over 5 years of experience and a recent graduate of the (new) Design Research program at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology. I was last employed as a product designer at Hopscotch where I worked on the UX and UI for both B2C and Business Operations verticals. Prior to that I completed multiple projects as an independent contractor for clients and agencies in the US, Canada and India as a UX designer, front-end & WordPress Developer. I understand what it means to play well in a diverse team, am meticulous about details and (with my recent degree) I have developed a first hand understanding of the sensibilities of the #NextBillionUsers. Ready to tackle the next challenge in the product design world!
