About

I am a multi-disciplinary designer with a passion for crafting experiences that have a positive impact on people's lives, whether it's through user-centred UI/UX design or innovative service design. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Service Design from the Royal College of Art, London, and a Bachelor's degree in Human-Centered Design from the Srishti Institute of Art, Design, & Technology, India. My educational background has equipped me with a deep understanding of design principles, research methodologies, and the ability to think critically and creatively.


As someone with expertise in both UI/UX and Service Design, I am skilled in integrating them to create cohesive and seamless experiences that drive customer loyalty. My in-depth understanding of the context in which digital touch-points are used and their role in the overall customer journey enables me to create interactions that align with customers' needs and expectations. By doing so, I can enhance the customer experience, differentiate the organisation from its competitors, and ultimately increase revenue and profitability.
