As a UI/UX Designer and Product Designer with over four years of experience, I create human-centered, scalable, and intuitive digital products that drive both user satisfaction and business success. My expertise spans UX research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, design systems, and usability testing, impacting over 15 million users globally across Telecom, Healthcare, AI, and Education industries. At Reliance Jio Platforms, I spearheaded the JioMeet platform redesign, leading to a 70% increase in sales and expanding the user base to 15 million. By collaborating with cross-functional teams, I optimized information architecture, developed high-fidelity prototypes, and conducted iterative testing, resulting in a 40% boost in user satisfaction. Currently, I’m conducting research on Human-AI interactions at Indiana University Bloomington, focusing on AI ethics, user trust, and transparent interactions. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I mentor students in design thinking, user experience, and interaction design, equipping them with industry-ready skills. I also led the Hoosier Community Network website redesign, improving user satisfaction by 84% and reinforcing my ability to align UX strategies with user needs and business goals. My approach combines user research, data-driven design, and cross-functional collaboration to build impactful, engaging, and accessible products. I thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to building intuitive, high-impact digital experiences that enhance lives and drive business growth.
