What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead user-centered UI/UX and digital experience initiatives, translate complex needs into purposeful solutions, and mentor multidisciplinary teams through design thinking and human-centered approaches.

I've led UI/UX, digital branding, website, and social media initiatives for NIFT Mumbai, while designing and delivering programs in UI/UX, Design Thinking, AR/VR, and Graphic Design.

At Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, I serve as Professor of Practices, coordinate industry internships, develop Design Thinking modules, and mentor students. My academic leadership experience helps me translate complex requirements into intuitive, purposeful digital experiences and communicate clearly across multidisciplinary teams.

Earlier, I built websites, databases, and digital products using PHP, HTML, MySQL, AutoCAD, ASP, SQL Server, and Crystal Reports. I also delivered user-centered web experiences for craft clusters and guided students through UI/UX, digital content, social media marketing, and Design Thinking projects.
