Core Leadership and Design Philosophy

Excellence Through Vision and Strategy

Excellence Through Vision and Strategy

Innovation in every aspect of our work is what drives me. I achieve this by defining and communicating a long-term vision and strategy for the product design cycle, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, delightful, and usable experiences. I rely on research and analysis while maintaining an agile design process.

Scalability focused Systems Thinker

Scalability focused Systems Thinker

Scalability, a vital and intricate part of product cycle, relies on strong systems foundations. I employ systems thinking in everything I work with - projects, products, and even processes. Being a systems thinker, I connect the dots for user-centric growth.

Fostering talent with People Management

Fostering talent with People Management

I am an inclusive leader who celebrates the uniqueness of each individual. People are beautifully complex yet wonderfully simple, each thinking, behaving, and reacting differently. I have been fortunate to help people and teams grow by guiding them along their unique paths.

A Designer at core

A Designer at core

I have been a designer for 12 years and I absolutely love what I do. I don’t hate Mondays! I’ve worked as a Lead Designer as an individual contributor before I moved to people management. I love making products that have an impact on every user it touches!

Optimizing Design Processes:
Design Systems and Research-Driven Culture

As a Design Leader, apart from improvising the team operations, I have led several company-wide projects with a key focus on elevating the DesOps within the company. Some of the major ones being Design System and Driving a Research Driven Culture.

Driving Research-Driven Culture

Having a data and research driven approach has been one of my key focus areas. While challenging, I have been engaged in driving a research driven culture across the team on external projects and in establishing Research Operations within the company with internal product offering Accedo Healthcheck.
