About

From experience design
to intelligent systems.

I'm driven by curiosity, data, and purpose, blending human empathy with the power of AI to design experiences people love and businesses value. With over two decades in the field, I've helped global organisations from startups to Fortune 500s transform through human-centred design, data-led decisions, and technology innovation.

Today, I lead UX Design teams at Publicis Sapient that craft meaningful digital transformations across industries for global clients. My approach sits at the intersection of design craft, business acumen, and emerging AI capability.

As the Founder of RethinkingUX, I actively shape India's design talent pipeline, leading strategic initiatives that elevate craft, business thinking, and leadership for the next generation of designers.
