Who I Am
A designer who believes complexity is just clarity waiting to be found. I’ve spent 15 years at the intersection of systems thinking, human empathy, and design leadership — driven by one quiet conviction: that even the hardest problems can be made to feel simple.
What I Do Today
I lead Experience Design at JPMorganChase as Vice President, shaping digital platforms that millions of people trust with their financial lives. At this scale, design isn’t just craft — it’s responsibility.
How I Lead
With honesty, curiosity, and a deep belief in people. I build teams that create with both rigor and heart, mentor designers to find their voice, and champion the kind of thoughtful, human-centered leadership that makes organizations genuinely better — not just faster.
Past Experience
My career spans the full spectrum — from high-growth startups to global technology organizations. I’ve held design leadership roles at Multiplier, Zeta, Freshworks, Zoho, and Crayon’D, always drawn to the hardest, most complex design challenges in enterprise and fintech.
What Drives Me
The moment a complicated thing finally feels obvious. The designer who finds their confidence. The product that earns a user’s trust. Outside work, I sketch, travel, and watch how people move through the world — because the best design insights live in ordinary human moments.

My Voice in the Design Community
I believe designers need more honest, grounded voices in the room — not just polished presentations, but real conversations about where our craft is headed. I speak on panels and at design forums on themes close to my heart: the evolving role of the designer in an AI-driven world, building trust through product experiences, ethical design, and what it truly means to lead with empathy at scale. Most recently, I joined the conversation at Designers of Tomorrow: What’s Next for Us? — because I think that question deserves more than a trend report.
Mentoring & Giving Back
Some of my most meaningful work happens outside deliverables and deadlines. I actively mentor designers across experience levels — helping them navigate career transitions, find their design voice, and grow into confident leaders. I care deeply about the next generation of designers in India and globally, and I show up for the community not because it looks good, but because someone did it for me once. Design gets better when we share what we know.
What Grounds Me
Design can be a noisy, ego-driven space. My anchor has always been something quieter. The teachings of Osho and J. Krishnamurti found me during a mid-life unraveling — and completely reoriented how I see myself, my work, and the people I design for.
Osho taught me that creativity is not a skill, it’s a state of being. That you cannot truly create while carrying the weight of who you think you should be. That spontaneity, playfulness, and inner freedom aren’t distractions from good work — they are the conditions for it. That shift quietly transformed how I approach design, leadership, and the blank page.
Krishnamurti taught me that observation without judgment is the highest form of intelligence. That most of our suffering — personal and professional — comes from thinking through borrowed ideas rather than seeing things as they actually are. I now bring that quality of attention to every user research session, every design critique, every difficult conversation. It is the most underrated design tool I own.
Together, they didn’t give me answers. They dismantled the questions I was asking. And what remained was something cleaner — a more honest designer, a more present leader, and a genuinely more curious human being.
