What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can grow as a designer and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a passionate UI/UX designer with a strong foundation in psychology and literature, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Arts at Kristu Jayanti College. My academic background has equipped me with a unique perspective on user behavior, which I leverage to create intuitive and engaging designs. I am committed to enhancing user experiences through thoughtful design and research.

In my recent role at Orange Cat AI, I designed modular UI components that improved interaction design consistency across the platform. My collaboration on the VS Code extension Sytnx showcased my ability to integrate AI-powered assistance into user workflows. Additionally, my experience at Edculcate India Pvt. Ltd. allowed me to lead UI/UX strategies for gamified EdTech tools, advocating for mobile-first practices that significantly boosted user retention.

As the Head of Design for the Google Developers' Student Club, I founded a Design Series that trained over 500 students, emphasizing the importance of accessible and gamified learning tools. I am eager to continue my journey in UI/UX design, contributing to projects that prioritize user needs and innovative solutions.
