Understand before designing
I start with research (interviews, observation and synthesis) so decisions are grounded in real behaviour, not assumptions.

Philosophy & Story
Designing calm, human software.
I’m a UI/UX designer passionate about creating simple, meaningful and user-centered experiences. I enjoy understanding people, solving real problems, and designing interfaces that are both intuitive and visually engaging.
My work spans research, interaction design, and visual systems, from product redesigns and design systems to startup apps and IoT-connected experiences. I’m currently studying Design (B.Des, UI/UX) at MIT World Peace University, Pune.

“Simple is harder than complex. Strip away the noise until only the meaningful remains.”
Off the Clock · Curiosities
Where design meets everyday rituals.
When not sketching wires or refining design systems, you will find me testing chai blends, collecting typography prints, and observing how everyday objects evoke emotion.

03 — Design Approach
How I work.
A simple, repeatable way of working that keeps me honest: from the first unknown to the final pixel.
Reduce, then refine
I strip a problem back to its essential job, design the simplest thing that works, then refine the details until it feels effortless.
Design in systems
I build reusable components and clear visual rules so products stay consistent, accessible and easy to scale.
Test and iterate
I put prototypes in front of people early, watch where they struggle, and let their behaviour guide the next version.
