I’m a User Experience Designer based in Nagpur, India, with over 14 years of experience creating impactful digital products. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully delivered 50+ projects for organizations ranging from CMMI Level 3 companies to Big 4 Indian IT leaders, working across diverse industries including Media, Fintech, Fashion, Finance, Insurance, and Human Resources. I help businesses elevate their existing products or design new user experiences from the ground up — solutions that not only look great but also engage users and achieve real business goals.

I embrace an AI-first approach to UX design, using artificial intelligence not just as a tool but as a creative partner. This enables me to streamline design processes, accelerate prototyping, and craft highly personalized user experiences that evolve with user behavior and business goals. I combine human-centered thinking with AI capabilities to enhance ideation, optimize user flows, and deliver innovative, future-ready digital experiences.
