What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative, research-driven roles where I can lead user research and design inclusive, iterative experiences that improve accessibility and engagement.

I am a product and experience designer with strength in research planning, contextual inquiry, and usability testing, trained at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.

I have led hands-on experience design projects such as the IME Mobile Museum Bus, conducting on-ground observation and iteratively translating insights into interactive concepts, spatial layouts and prototypes.

My work includes designing and facilitating maker workshops, conducting observation-led research to improve engagement for diverse participants, and developing sensory prototypes for inclusive learning initiatives with autistic children.

I focus on systems thinking, behavior mapping and clear communication of insights, and I enjoy working in iterative, collaborative environments to create meaningful, accessible outcomes.
