A little bit more about me


For the past few years, I have been living in extremely different locations; from the huge city Delhi for my master's degree in Design through smaller cities like Pune or Bilbao for internships to a little town in the Scottish Highlands for work.

I enjoyed this drastic change of scenery because I believe the key to a good design is to have a deep insight on people's lifestyle, habits and culture.

Living out of my comfort zone gave me the chance to observe and participate first hand to this diverse way of living and working and hence enhance my knowledge and skills.

Eager about learning new things, I challenged myself to learn a bit of Adobe XD as well as HTML/CSS and Dutch.

I keep pushing my boundaries, to make people's ideas and desires come to life.
