Hey there 👋
I'm a Hands-on Design Manager with 12 years of experience. I build and lead high-performing design teams and frameworks that drive growth. I Align product strategy and vision to create intuitive experiences for over 20 million users.
I specialise in building design teams and systems for complex, AI-driven enterprise products. Over 12 years, I've led design at companies like Microsoft, Accolade, Gojek, Razorpay, and Freshworks, shipping products that impact millions. I believe the best design leadership is invisible — it shows up in team culture, product clarity, and user trust.
