About

Designing for humans with taste. Designer with 11+ years of experience turning ideas into intuitive, high-impact digital products. I specialize in crafting seamless UI experiences for web and mobile, anchored in human needs, business goals, and measurable outcomes. Beyond pixels and prototypes, I lead design teams and shape culture, mentoring talent, driving collaboration, and pushing for design excellence across the board. I’m a big believer in taking initiative, it's how I learn, evolve, and stay curious. Over the years, I’ve: * Led 30+ projects across domains, including the award-winning ACT app. * Co-founded Design Atti - a grassroots design community in Chennai, for designers by designers. * Launched Lollypop Academy, mentoring 100+ designers and bridging the gap between theory and real-world design. * Created Popshot, a playground for design experiments that also sparked inbound sales interest. * Introduced Design Chief, a rotating peer review system that builds feedback culture and sharpens critique skills. * Scaled and mentored teams from the ground up, now independently handling complex, global projects. I thrive in agile environments, love challenging deadlines, and believe great products are the result of great teams. I'm here to build both. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me still designing just in the name of ~Exploring.
