I've designed the My Renault India app end to end at Renault Nissan Technology Business Centre India, creating one unified ownership experience for millions of connected and regular-car users. I turned vehicle data, expenses, payments, service needs, and financial services into intuitive everyday interactions.

I also designed the AI assistant chatbot experience, including conversational flows, uncertainty states, and proactive suggestions. Using Figma Make and V0, I rapidly prototyped ideas from natural-language prompts and compressed early exploration from days into hours.

I've piloted a production design system, shaped its adoption through live feedback, and created a showcase video shared globally across the organisation. I work closely with product, engineering, research, leadership, and teams across India, France, and Japan to move decisions forward and ship work that survives implementation.

Earlier, I led digital identity for 25+ film projects at DEC and designed UI, UX, brands, and websites across healthcare, education, real estate, lifestyle, and online learning at Mangotree Media. I enjoy understanding real workflows, asking the questions that uncover the actual problem, and building experiences people want to use.
