About
Hi! I'm a designer and strategist who integrates systems thinking and critical design in building accessible, efficient and impactful solutions. My work follows a research-led, human-centered design and engineering approach to develop plans, prototypes and products for people and the planet.
During my Master's thesis at the Rhode Island School of Design, I focused on the bio-design, bio-fabrication, characterization and testing of mycelium-based materials. These were grown using local waste and fungi in a low-tech, semi-automated microsystem to produce carbon-capturing, compostable and non-toxic raw materials for prototyping and products.
Over the past six years, my practice in India and the United States have spanned research and strategy, UX/UI design, industrial design, biomedical device engineering, and teaching in K-12 and higher education. I've worked with organizations including Xcimer Energy, Biodesign Challenge, Rhode Island Foundation, Collins Aerospace, Big Dreams Studio.
Currently open to full-time and part-time design, research, and strategy work.
