Product Designer at Oaks Solutions, shaping Siya from a six-screen prototype into a 100+ screen AI teaching platform.

At Oaks Solutions, I’m the sole designer on Siya, an AI teaching platform. I took it from a six-screen prototype to more than 100 screens across six roles as the model shifted from B2C to B2B school onboarding.

I worked on question paper generation, AI Edit, lesson plans and handwritten answer evaluation, rebuilding these experiences after teacher testing to reduce screens, buttons and cognitive load. I also built Siya’s brand from scratch, from positioning and visual systems to a shape-shifting mascot used across product, web, print, merch and campaigns.

I ran the identity migration on the live product and moved production to an AI-assisted design-to-code pipeline, turning a three-month redesign into weeks. Earlier at Oaks, I rebuilt Mavricks from loose PNG mockups into a coherent product with a component library, icon set and prototype.

Before Oaks, I worked across product and marketing at Incepteo and shipped design systems and landing page redesigns as an intern at FULL Creative. Alongside my product work, I take on freelance and contract projects in identity, brochures and websites; I also enjoy writing fiction, games and anime, cricket, and travel.
