Senior UX Designer with expertise in user-centered design.
What I'm looking for
As a Senior UX Designer with extensive experience in creating user-centered designs, I have successfully led projects at renowned companies like PayPal and Lal10. My journey began with a strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering, which I later complemented with a Master’s in Interaction Design from IIT Bombay. This unique blend of technical and design skills allows me to approach problems holistically, ensuring that user experience is at the forefront of product development.
At PayPal, I designed the user experience for the 3DS SDK, focusing on authentication mechanisms that adhere to industry standards. My role involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to create inclusive and accessible designs. Previously, as Lead Product Designer at Lal10, I mentored a team and spearheaded the development of a new design system, enhancing the usability of B2B products. My experience also includes conducting user research and creating design systems at Wishup and MathWorks, where I redesigned products to improve usability and intuitiveness.
