What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, where I can lead design initiatives and collaborate with cross-functional teams to create exceptional user experiences.

As a lead designer at Cashfree Payments, I spearhead the payment gateway pod, where we successfully designed the new checkout pages that increased transaction success rates by up to 6%. Our innovative one-click checkout flow has streamlined the payment process, enhancing user satisfaction and efficiency.

Previously, I built the initial design function at Enterpret and contributed significantly to the design systems at Moengage and Fintellix. My work has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Rockstar of the Quarter and WOW awards, showcasing my commitment to excellence in design and user experience.

With a Master's in Information Design and a strong foundation in various design tools like Figma, Sketch, and Illustrator, I am dedicated to creating intuitive and impactful user experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging design to solve complex problems.
