UX/UI Designer | Strategic Thinker
With a robust educational foundation in management and finance, including an MBA from the University of Mumbai and an Executive MBA from the National Institute of Business Management, I have transitioned into a dynamic career in UX/UI design. Currently at Genee, I lead design initiatives to enhance user engagement and brand consistency. My previous roles at Karibu.AI and the Global Deaf Research Institute honed my skills in creating user-centric solutions and improving accessibility. I have a keen eye for detail, developed through my experience as a photographer at Visual Romance, where I tailored photoshoots to client visions. Additionally, my tenure as a self-employed chess coach reflects my strategic thinking and ability to adapt teaching methods to individual needs. My diverse background enables me to approach design challenges with a unique perspective, focusing on usability and user satisfaction.
