What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining research-driven design and brand strategy at impact-focused teams, with opportunities for hands-on creative work, mentorship, and measurable user outcomes.

I am a curious and experimental researcher-designer who thrives on stepping out of my comfort zone to create impact-driven work. I blend strong communication skills with creative problem-solving to deliver design and brand strategy solutions.

I have hands-on experience in brand research, strategy, and communication design through roles at a strategy consultancy, design studios, and remote internships. My work includes brand positioning, trend analysis, platform redesigns, and illustrated children’s books.

I have presented a research paper at IIT Delhi (to be published by Springer Journal) and earned recognition in design competitions and awards. I also taught art to refugee children, demonstrating a commitment to socially meaningful projects.

Technically, I work with Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Procreate, FontLab, Maya, Microsoft Office and several AI/visual tools, and I lead student-industry initiatives connecting peers to practical learning opportunities.
