About me

I’ve always introduced myself as a self-built data-oriented product designer. With 7+ years into designing products, I focus on crafting experiences which are sustainable and meaningful and also making sure they generate revenue with justified effort.

I'm passionate about relishing this beautiful life by riding on my motorcycle and explore places, cultures, and my internal self.

Chef, Humorous, Bathroom Singer and Pet lover are some labels I've got.

And that’s about 17% of me.
