Design Innovator Bridging Fashion and Tech
With a robust foundation in design and technology, I have cultivated a diverse career path that bridges fashion and human-computer interaction. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Design from the National Institute of Fashion Technology Delhi and am pursuing a Master's in Human Computer Interaction at Indiana University Indianapolis. My professional journey includes pivotal roles such as Technical Product Designer and Team Lead at Gap Inc., where I spearheaded AR Try-on initiatives and enhanced the 3D + Fit experience. As a Co-Founder of WeWeave3D, I revolutionized 3D rapid prototyping, significantly reducing lead times. My experience as a Senior Officer Design at Myntra and a Graduate Project Design Intern at Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. further honed my skills in fashion design and technology integration. My entrepreneurial spirit is also nurtured by my participation in Y Combinator's Startup School.
