About me

Enterprise UX designer who speaks both business and code

TL;DR Mode

Born in Odisha, I co-founded Brand House in 2017 — an omni-channel fashion store that topped ₹60 lakhs in revenue its first year. Curating collections and decoding customer behavior sparked an obsession with the experience behind every purchase.

That pull led me to Bengaluru and product design. At Tenovia I rose from UX Designer to Senior UX Designer, transforming complex retail ops into dashboards loved by India's fastest-growing D2C brands.

Today, at Siemens I architect enterprise tools thousands of engineers rely on to tame industrial complexity. My entrepreneurial roots lock me on outcomes, while my engineering mindset keeps every pixel grounded in structure. Whether refining a workflow, mentoring on YouTube, or working on own projects, I chase the thrill of building something exactly as imagined — then scaling it far beyond.
