At Instaheadshots, I worked as Founding Product Designer for a high-growth suite of Generative AI creative tools.

At Polkam, I led end-to-end design for enterprise-scale product surfaces used by 20M+ users globally. I created design systems, prototypes, and implementation-ready workflows, and partnered with frontend teams to carry design intent through to the final product.

I also built custom AI workflows with Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, and Figma MCP, and used AI to support research synthesis and prototyping. Earlier, at Aarzoo, I owned design for workflows from zero to one; at OYO (Weddingz.in), I designed platforms used by 300+ venues across India and mentored designers.
