Product Designer with roots in engineering from one of India's top technical universities. I've worked across the full spectrum of product design, from early-stage startups to growth-stage SaaS, covering B2B tools, creator economy platforms, and influencer marketing infrastructure.

At Cloutflow, I designed the Campaigns module from scratch, including a drawer-based interaction model that became the foundation for how the product handles complex multi-step workflows. I also led the consolidation of a fragmented master drawer into a unified IA, one that collapsed multiple surfaces into a single, coherent interaction layer. The product scaled from ₹3.3Cr to ₹8Cr monthly revenue during my time there.

At Lykstage, I worked on the creator-facing product, improving upload flows, designing the earnings dashboard, and expanding content recommendation to include Finance & Accounting as a vertical. The changes contributed to a 40% increase in uploads and a 20% lift in creator retention.

Before that, I did UX research at IIT Delhi's Divine Labs, working on EV HCI and EEG-based interaction studies, and a CRM design internship at Prodo. I've also done freelance product design work across logistics and B2B domains.

I work AI-native, using Claude, Cursor, and generative tools not as shortcuts but as force multipliers that let me move from problem to high-fidelity faster than a traditional design process allows. I'm comfortable owning design end-to-end, problem framing, IA, Figma, design systems, and I bring an engineering sensibility to feasibility and edge cases. I operate well in async, remote environments and can ship at a pace most teams aren't used to from a designer.
