A Bit About Me
I am passionate about the influence of design and its business viability. A self-learner with a keen interest in human behavior and emerging technologies and how both are impacting each other. Trained with design research methodologies and tools, I am able to forge strategic insights to create influential products, services, and experiences.
​
A trained Architect by profession with a knack for Designing Experiences for users. Architecture has taught me the importance of empathy and attention to detail, which combined with my user experience skills will help me to impart to the ongoing project I would be involved in and gain experience in return. I am a research-oriented person who devotes approximately 80% of my project time to research. Aside from that, I like to play Flute and read Japanese Manga.
