About

I design products for people who are new to apps, busy running a shop, or looking after a parent's health — and I think that makes for better software for everyone.

Before Pocketly I designed clinic tools at Arogya Health and brand systems at Studio Kaagaz. I mentor early-career designers through ADPList and speak at design meetups across India.
