I'm a product designer with over 4 years of experience. Worked at ValueLabs, Classplus and Simpl. I design with clarity and a focus on what moves the metrics.
Recent work

BioLite
BioLite’s Backup iOS app
Designed the iOS app for BioLite’s upcoming product, Backup, a home power battery that keeps appliances running seamlessly during outages. Worked closely with PM and BioLite engineers. I led the end-to-end design.

Astro
Astro's internal ad management portal redesign
Redesigned Astro’s internal dashboard to improve clarity, usability, and cross-team workflows. This led to faster campaign execution, fewer support tickets, and a significantly smoother experience for internal teams.

Classplus
Increasing course enrollment by 73% for high-ticket courses
Designed and shipped Pay in Installments to make high-ticket courses more accessible. It enabled students to split fees into smaller monthly payments and start learning immediately. This led to higher enrollment, lower checkout drop-offs, and better adoption of premium courses.

More about me
I got into design long before I knew it was a career. I used to sketch app ideas and teach myself to code just enough to bring my designs to life. That habit of digging deep and learning by doing still drives me.
I’ve designed for energy, edtech and fintech. Most of my work has been with early-stage teams where things move fast and design plays a big role in bringing clarity. I enjoy working on onboarding, dashboards, and 0-1 experiences.
Outside of work, I’m into astrophotgraphy, travel, and reading things that help me see the world a little differently. Always happy to talk about design, new business ideas, or anything that sparks curiosity.
