My Journey

  • High school

    I got into architecture

    My first design interest was architecture. I was fascinated by all the different ways people interact with a space.

  • High school

    Got really into art

    But then, I realized architecture wasn't for me. So, I got 200% into art in high school. Seriously, art studio was my 2nd home.

    Early days in product design

    Then, through a Tufts alumni, I learned about UX/product design! I was instantly hooked to its multidisciplinary nature. These were my early designs (Daily UI), and oh god...

    • Two mockups - one as an invitation page and another as a planner
    • Product page for a watch

  • Gap year

    Self doubt, pivot, and return

    I took a gap year during Covid 2020-21. At this point, I thought about not doing design and dabbled in music. Eventually, I came back to design because of a simple reason: I just love doing it.

  • Now

    Still going strong!

    Thus far, I’ve worked at Datadog, Roblox, Creator Now, and other wonderful companies as a product designer/intern. And I document my design journey through my new blog!

I love to build

When I have an idea, I do whatever I can to make it happen. Check out what I’ve worked on:
