Summary

Lead Product Designer with 11+ years of professional experience, including 7+ years in product design, building AI-powered enterprise and platform products across AgTech, FinTech, LegalTech, SaaS, Sustainability, Supply Chain, ERP, and CRM ecosystems.

I specialize in simplifying complex systems through thoughtful product experiences, combining systems thinking, human-centered design, and emerging technologies. My work spans AI platforms, conversational experiences, knowledge systems, analytics dashboards, geospatial products, and workflow-driven enterprise applications.

Prior to product design, I spent nearly four years in aeronautical engineering, an experience that continues to influence how I approach problem-solving, scalability, and systems design. I hold a Master's degree in Design from the National Institute of Design (NID).
