I’m a design leader with over fifteen years of experience shaping meaningful, scalable, and human-centered design solutions. At Microsoft, I lead design for Power Pages, bringing together experience design, technology, and AI to help people build and use digital products more intuitively. My focus is on nurturing design talent, simplifying complex systems, and turning ideas into outcomes that truly matter.

​

My journey began with a simple intent: to design experiences and environments that connect people, ideas, and businesses in ways that make everyday interactions better. I hold a Master’s in Experience Design from the National Institute of Design and a Bachelor’s in Interior Design from Mangalore University, an education that taught me to see systems, not just surfaces.

​

Before Microsoft, I founded Cogwheel Studios, a consultancy recognized in the CII India Design Year Book 2014 for innovation in process and methodology. We grew into a small but powerful team that helped organizations improve usability, engagement, and brand clarity across digital and physical spaces.

​

I also mentor and teach at the National Institute of Design as visiting faculty and jury member. Teaching keeps me grounded, it’s where I exchange ideas with the next generation of designers and stay curious about where the discipline is heading.

​

Design continues to find me, even outside work, through technology, films, or the smallest go-to-market touchpoint that sparks curiosity with its intent and reach. For me, design has never been just a profession; it’s a way of observing, questioning, and shaping the world with intention.

​

In the end, I design to make sense of complexity and to leave things a little better than I found them.
