With over 4 years of product design experience, I recently worked as a UX Designer II at GEP Worldwide, where I lead the design efforts for Forecasting experiences across GEP NEXXE Supply Chain Suite. I've previously held design positions at Reality AI (Acquired by Renesas Electronics), Canopy, and Relaince-Unlimit. I also hold a Master of Science degree in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Originally hailing from the vibrant country India, I credit my diverse cultural background for playing a pivotal role in nurturing my strong design abilities. Growing up in India exposed me to a melting pot of persptives, ideas, and feedback, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of embracing diverse views and incorporating them into my design process.
My superpowers
Storytelling
I enjoy transforming intricate ideas into digestible stories using animations and visuals within presentation slides.
Design Speed
I've fine-tuned my processes and resources to prioritize ideation and the investigation of a greater array of possibilities within a condensed timeframe. This enables me to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of solutions.
Structure in ambiguity
I have a knack for adding clarity and structure to ambiguous problems and environments. I love making complex situations easier for others to navigate and understand.
Design 🤝 development
As a knowledgeable engineer, I understand the intricacies and limitations of software. I'm adept at collaborating with my development team, which could entail everything from fixing small bugs in the production to reviewing code on Github.
