Lore Time
Helloooo!
I'm a Senior Product Designer who believes great design can transform communities. As a first-generation Indian American woman, I bring a unique lens to creating inclusive, human-centered experiences that actually work!
My passion for design all started by making memes in Photoshop class in highschool. From there, I studied Marketing & Creative Technology & Design at CU Boulder. I started my own business as a freelance graphic design artist until I got a phone call from a friend to work on a UX project in 2020. Since then, I've built my career on creating lovely human experiences.
My journey spans from teaching in the schools I grew up in through Teach for America to leading design for Spectrum's $1.5M enterprise platform. This pride in my identity now drives my work as a keynote speaker with Pathful, where I share my journey as a first-gen woman in tech with students across America. From those Denver classrooms to consulting for organizations like Asian Girls Ignite, I translate my experiences into mentorship. I am passionate about building up young people who look like me so that they know they belong in tech too.
Currently, I lead UX strategy for enterprise automation platforms while serving as a design consultant for businesses across Denver. My recent work includes delivering 100+ production screens with a 70% efficiency improvement, creating 3 design systems from scratch, and mentoring the next generation of designers. I'm equally passionate about the metrics (400% automation increase + billion dollar acquisitions + receiving many awards and recognitions) and meaning.
Not just a pixel princess: Growing up in Denver, I'm deeply rooted in Denver's creative community, from choreographing for cultural events to helping local nonprofits tell their stories through design, to championing local voices. I've provided my creative consultancy to local and national organizations.
When I'm not designing: You can find me enjoying life, lollygagging, chasing the sunset, eating good, riding my moped around the city, making friends, dancing, picnicking, throwing (out)fits, playing bingo and connecting people at community events. I believe the best designs, like the best communities, are built on connection, trust, and joy.
What I Believe In
Diligence
I do everything with excellence and go above and beyond. Every project gets my full care and attention.
Trust
Your success is my success. When I join your team, I'm all in, invested in the outcome and committed to the mission.
Clarity
Overcommunication is key. I keep everyone in the loop, ask questions, and make sure we're all moving in the same direction.
Humans first, always
Technical skills mean nothing if you can't connect with people. My greatest ability is my genuine, deep care for people and bringing teams closer together.
