Sr. User Experience Lead
Currently at Persistent Systems Limited since Feb 2023.
Hey there! I'm a UX Lead with 12+ years of hands-on design experience across India's buzzing tech hubs: Pune, Nagpur, and Bengaluru. Whether I'm building enterprise dashboards or crafting story-driven visuals, I aim to pair creative flair with smart functionality.
I've worked with both startups and global giants, leading UX/UI projects that put users first while staying aligned with business goals. I'm now looking to bring my passion for human-centered design to opportunities in India, the Middle East, or anywhere remote.
