Product designer focused on accessible, research-driven digital experiences.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a product designer specializing in human-centered, accessible digital experiences backed by rigorous HCI research and practical front-end development experience. I blend user research, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver usable products.
My work includes designing AI-powered clinical interfaces, accessibility-first content tools, and bias-reducing hiring products; I led end-to-end UX for projects that improved task completion and engagement metrics in pilot studies.
I mentor and teach—supporting students and developers through graduate instruction and global mentorship programs—and I speak publicly about embedding accessibility across the design process.
