Product Designer

Mechanical Engineer

Integrative Innovator

Young man with curly hair smiling and holding a microphone in one hand and a wireless headset in the other, standing in front of a backdrop with text about MS engineering.

I design to create products that are novel, impactful, and empowering. The chaos and compromise created by a lack of well-designed products in the developing world sharpened my perspective. From satellites to cancer-care, my curiosity has led me on a journey across industries and taught me the power and adaptability of design engineering.

Hello, fellow human!

Staying true to my name, I’m a Design Engineer driven by curiosity, creativity, and a passion for making diverse physical products that are novel and empowering.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from BITS Pilani and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Engineering Design Innovation at Northwestern University. When I’m not sketching or prototyping, I’m obsessing over clever everyday designs and finding beauty in the unexpected.
