India, KA,
Bangalore
Born in Karnal, raised partly in Delhi, and rooted in Bengaluru since 2010, I didn’t exactly “plan” to become a designer. One day I was messing around with graphics, the next I was deep into UX, and somewhere along the way—I found what I love.
Over the past 3+ years, I’ve worked with early-stage startups, energy firms, and marketing teams—designing everything from clean dashboards to scroll-stopping campaigns. It’s never been about pixels alone. For me, design is about understanding people, their quirks, and finding ways to make their experience a little smoother, a little better.
I design. I listen. I question. I learn.

The Path That Shaped Me
A timeline of choices, chances, and changes — each step, a story that led me deeper into design.
The Unexpected Beginning
I joined a "deemed-to-be" university with a simple plan:
Graduate. Get a job. Live life.
No spark, no hustle. Just the usual.
Then entered Trishabh Vats — a friend who did more than just share notes. He sparked something in me. That “something” turned into endless nights of learning C, C++, Java, Python, Kotlin, HTML, and CSS.
2019–2020 became my unofficial programming bootcamp.
The Forum That Started It All
In 2020, I co-founded Uttunga – The Student Research Forum.
It wasn’t just for coders. Anyone — from any domain — could join, build, and innovate.
Then came the pandemic. And a call.
Our design head invited me to try graphics. I said yes… mostly out of curiosity.
From Rejections to Revelations
Design didn’t love me at first.
Rejections? Plenty.
But I kept designing — social posts, event banners, presentations. You name it.
Soon, I was leading the entire design team. Teaching, mentoring, building… all while loving every bit of it.
Somewhere in mid-2020, fate introduced me to UI/UX Design — thanks to a college project for an NGO called ArtSparks.
Game. Changer.
The Leap into UI/UX
I dived deep into user research, design thinking, wireframes, and prototyping.
In 2021, while running the Uttunga design team, I got my first industry opportunity with Quantum Gully — a startup led by my super seniors. It taught me real-world design, team dynamics, and the occasional office politics.
After 9 months, I moved on. Degree in hand. Eyes on something bigger.
The Delhi Chapter
I shifted to Delhi in 2022 and joined Freekaamaal.
Here, I shaped large-scale B2C experiences, got hands-on with design systems, and understood product impact on users.
By the end of 2023, I stepped into a new challenge at GNA Energy.
A high-speed, high-impact environment where I worked on data platforms, OTC exchanges, and visual storytelling for the energy sector.
It hasn’t been easy — but growth rarely is.
Today?
I’m still Designing. Still Curious. Still Building.
Only now, with a story to tell, a vision to chase, and a whole lot of pixels under my belt.
Blending creativity with strategy to craft meaningful experiences. Always open to insightful conversations—whether it’s design, innovation, or the next big idea. Let’s connect and create something impactful!
