About me.

I am a product designer who aims to satisfy user needs in a way that meets business goals for transformative outcomes.

I care about the systems that make ordinary life less maddening. The way a door handle signals push or pull before you've humiliated yourself.

Nothing you feel while using a tool, a service, a system, is accidental. Someone put it there. The confusion, the small daily irritations, the moment a website makes you feel stupid for not knowing where to click — all of it was a choice. I just think we could make better ones.

My life outside work

Tennis 🎾

You can usually find me playing tennis or geeking out about tennis racquets and strings. I’ll be glad to help with a recommendation (free of charge)!

Travel ✈️

I love using different modes of transport - even more so if they're part of the public transport infrastructure.
I always try to capture the might and surreal nature of what I see in front of me, but succeed sparingly.

Food 🍲

My relationship with food has evolved with time, linked mostly with my changing appetite, and I've learnt to appreciate the subtleties of this experience as I've become older.
