What I'm looking for

In my next role, I am seeking a position where the mission of the product makes a significant impact. I thrive on tackling complex, real-world problems and excel in environments that value open-mindedness and out-of-the-box thinking. I am eager to contribute to a team that embraces exploration and innovative approaches as fundamental aspects of the work culture.

Inspired by Sri Chinmoy's insight that 'A smile is the best medicine,' I apply this philosophy to my work, crafting digital products that not only solve complex challenges but also engage and delight users. With a decade of experience in product design, UX design, and digital innovation, I specialize in sectors such as health insurance, fintech, education, and insurance. My expertise encompasses strategic roles in project planning, feature mapping, and product strategy. I have collaborated with leading companies, innovative Y Combinator-backed startups, and renowned brands, including SafetyWing, Habitual, Sasol, Vitality, Discovery Limited, Accenture, and GoodPoint. Known for blending innovation with usability, I am driven to enhance the digital landscape, making it more intuitive and enjoyable across various industries.
