About Me
Creating meaningful experiences that have a strong human-centric impact on users is my raison d'etre.
Understanding challenges that equally weigh on businesses and end-customer needs. Identifying elegant solutions and collaborating with product managers, developers, and stakeholders for implementation of designs. Solving complex user experience problems by using artificial intelligence (AI) and human centric design approach.
