Beyond my professional pursuits, I am an ardent theatre enthusiast, having nurtured my passion for acting and performing on stage since a young age. I actively engage with the California Arts Association (CalAA), participating in at least three plays annually. Additionally, I have dedicated 13 years to training in Bharatanatyam, an Indian Classical Dance style, earning a diploma in the art form. Both acting and dancing provide me with a liberating outlet for self-expression.
With an unwavering passion for making a difference through technology, embracing cultural diversity, and pursuing creative endeavors, I seize every opportunity as a catalyst for growth, striving to leave a lasting impact on the world.
As a globally-minded individual with a passion for utilizing technology in innovative ways, I bring a diverse background shaped by my upbringing in India, as well as my experiences living in Singapore and the United States. This multicultural exposure has endowed me with a distinctive worldview, constantly driving me to leverage my skills for positive impact.
With a comprehensive academic background encompassing a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, followed by dual master's degrees in Computer Science and Interaction Design, I possess a strong foundation in both the technical and creative realms of Silicon Valley. Rooted in my fascination with human psychology and its significance in crafting engaging user experiences, my focus as a UX designer revolves around simplifying and enhancing people's lives through technology. I am particularly committed to designing for underrepresented minorities, striving to create inclusive, sustainable, and accessible applications.
My genuine enjoyment of social interactions and genuine curiosity about others' stories serves as the cornerstone of my product development approach.
When I am not immersed in design or performing arts, I indulge in my culinary talents through cooking and baking. Furthermore, my love for exploration and immersion in diverse cultures fuels my enthusiasm for traveling, as I firmly believe that each opportunity presents a chance for personal growth and new learning experiences.
