It started with a question

The story behind why I became a UX designer.

I've always been fascinated by products that feel effortless to use, and by the people who make them. That curiosity became a career in 2021, when I joined Tata Consultancy Services as a UX designer.

Since then I've designed for the people behind enterprise screens: airline agents, service teams and operations staff, where one extra click costs real time. I've owned projects from requirements to developer handoff, led two junior designers, and represented TCS at an onsite client workshop with SBB in Bern, Switzerland.

Today I use generative AI across research, ideation and prototyping. I also hold an MBA in Systems Design & Marketing from Bharathiar University (2026).
