Hello!
My journey started in Assam, and these past years have been incredible. From being an engineering aspirant to pursuing architecture to studying as a design student, my experiences have taught me to be open and adjustable to change and new perspectives.
I completed Bachelor of Architecture from MNIT, Jaipur and graduated in 2018. Before pursuing M.Des from IIT-Delhi, I worked in multiple domains, as a Visual Designer, Graphic Designer and an Architect at 727 Architect. I am currently working as an Interaction Designer at frog Design.
I approach design with a focus on people, establishing empathy for people on both sides, the one who makes, and the one who uses the product. My Design practice combines design thinking, user research, wireframing, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, user testing, etc. to focus on the user.
