I come from an engineering background with the classic South Asian narrative: the pursuit of a "stable" career path encouraged by societal norms. While studying electronic engineering, my final year project unexpectedly sparked a shift in my interests. Designing button interfaces on an HMI and integrating them with a PLC system gave me my first taste of crafting user experiences. That moment led me to explore the world of UI/UX design, and I haven't looked back since.

After graduating, I ventured into freelancing, collaborating with marketing agencies on various projects. It was there that I refined my skills in creating digital interfaces for both mobile and desktop platforms. From designing wireframes to building responsive layouts, I immersed myself in the intricacies of user-centric design and problem-solving.

I used to believe that I needed to settle into a specific niche, but looking back, the diverse experiences shaped me. The evolving digital landscape gave me the opportunity to transition from an engineering graduate to a freelancer, to eventually becoming a Product Designer. While the tools, processes, and teams have changed, my mission has always remained the same: crafting seamless, end-to-end digital experiences that truly connect with users.
