What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a UI/UX or product design opportunity where I can apply user research, structured problem-solving, and Figma prototyping to build clear, human-centered digital experiences while growing with an experienced design team.

I led Trackitt, an AI-supported expense-tracking app, from a 40-participant survey and user personas through strategy, wireframes, and a clickable Figma prototype. I reframed the product around reducing manual data entry through automation and AI-driven insights.

My architecture and interior-design work at DFabz, Lotus Energy Systems, IndianStory Studio, and the Office of Cognitive Design has trained me to translate client needs into clear spatial, visual, and technical solutions. I create structured documentation, visualizations, concepts, and iterative design directions while coordinating feedback from clients, vendors, and stakeholders.

As the founder of a custom illustration business with 350+ orders, I've managed product definition, pricing, production workflows, Instagram marketing, and customer-feedback-led iteration. I bring that practical, user-centered mindset to UI/UX and product design.
