About me

About me

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Product Service System Design from Politecnico di Milano, where I’m exploring how design can make complex systems work better for people.

With a background in engineering, I love connecting design and tech to understand systems deeply, which in the past has helped me to uncover inefficiencies and streamline internal tech processes to drive meaningful improvements.

I’m now looking to take on complex challenges within in-house service/UX teams, where I can design for people behind the products.

When I am not designing, I like to -

TRAVEL

I love traveling which exploring different cultures, and sometimes I challenge myself by opting for week long treks. For me, traveling invokes a sense of freedom in me while exposing me to different situations and things I can learn from.

MENTOR

When I was doing my Bachelor's in Engineering, I struggled a lot as I did not like the career prospects that all my peers were aiming for. At that time, I got the right set of mentors and people around me who introduced me to design and showed me the right path to learn and grow. And now, I am trying my best to guide junior designers to learn and grow from my experiences on adplist.org.

Here are some reviews I got -

COOK

Since I have been living away from home since 2021, I had to cook food on my own. As time passed by, I started liking it and now it feels therapeutic sometimes as I take out time to cook time-taking dishes to slow myself down from the hustle.
