I help startups build scalable products through research, storytelling, rapid prototyping, and design systems.
What I'm looking for
I lead product design for startups and complex platforms, from early concepts to systems that scale. At Sharpener Design, I help turn ambitious ideas into actionable outcomes with measurable results.
I helped Matchday.ai refine its AR badminton experience and envision the broader product journey before its acquisition by GameTheory. With Locus, I collaborated on ShipFlex, a logistics orchestration platform active across 30+ countries and 190+ carriers, saving 560,000 hours of manual effort.
As a founding member at FOLO, I led design for a Net Worth app that gives Indian families financial clarity by aggregating assets, liabilities, and insurance in real time. I built UX and UI flows that simplify complex financial data into one-click sharing and legacy planning.
At Locus, I progressed from Senior Product Designer to Principal Product Designer, developing an Order Management System and a Figma library of 10,000+ reusable assets that increased productivity by 40%. I enjoy mentoring designers, conducting workshops, and solving difficult problems across finance, logistics, sports technology, and urban systems.
