Presenting your work with impact

I lead design for WhatsApp’s large screen and wearable experiences, including defining cross-app communication for smart glasses. On Instagram and Facebook, I improved buyer journeys and helped drive meaningful business impact through evidence-based, cross-surface initiatives. Working in these dynamic, collaborative environments has taught me how to influence product strategy, align teams, and deliver designs that balance usability, scale, and innovation.

At Microsoft India, I spent five formative years designing for Bing, MSN, and SMS Organizer. I led end-to-end experiences across search, shopping, and cultural moments like elections, cricket, and festivals, creating frameworks that reached millions of users. I also shaped SMS Organizer into a widely adopted app with over 10M installs by building holistic design systems and innovative features. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in scaling design, collaborating with diverse teams, and creating products deeply rooted in user needs.
