I’m a recent graduate from Northeastern University where I obtained by M.S. in Experience Design. I previously completed my undergrad at Purdue University with a B.S. in UX Design and a minor in Psychology. Growing up, I’ve always been fascinated by the visual aspects of technology, particularly operating systems, which led to my interest in UX design as it merges my passions for technology, art, and psychology.
📸 Through my interest in photography, 2D design, and videography, I have garnered skills in Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Procreate, and Final Cut Pro.
👨🏻💻 I have programming experience with Python, Java, CSS, and HTML. With this knowledge of coding, I’ve taught classes teaching kids basic programming skills and completed numerous Arduino projects.
🤟🏼 I am proficient in Sign Language and Hindi, know conversational speech in Spanish, and am currently learning French.
🥽 Having advanced my knowledge in XR and developed an understanding of the theory, impact, practices, and ethics of the technology, I created projects using tools like Hoverlay and Unity.
I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and was a brother in DMK, Purdue’s premier entrepreneurship fraternity. Outside of work, you can probably find me curating the perfect playlist🎶, taking care of my plants🪴, or staring at the clouds☁️.

Empathy
Leveraging my psychology knowledge, I understand that every user is unique.
My experience with diverse user groups informs my approach to listen actively without rushing to assumptions.

Flexibility
The key to successful design is being flexible.
I prioritize not getting attached to ideas, pivoting based on feedback, and collaborating with team members to achieve optimal outcomes.
