About Me

16+ years designing products that hold up under real-world use.

I'm a Senior Product Designer based in Stuttgart, Germany, working across SaaS, e-commerce and enterprise healthcare. I lead end-to-end — research, IA, UI, design systems and developer handoff — and I'm still hands-on with the pixels, not just the process.

Originally trained and shaped across teams in India, the UK and the UAE before relocating to Germany, I bring a multi-market perspective to every product I touch — from regulated healthcare dashboards to conversion-driven retail.
