about

Design is a combination of understanding & expression. A synthesis of form and content to create meaning.

Born and brought up in India, I studied Mechatronics engineering in school because I thought it would give me the broadest introduction to how things are built. Joined an IT company to learn how things are built on the Internet. Shifted to working at the intersection of design and engineering, to explore what I felt passionate about. And finally went to school in Italy when I realized that design was my true calling.

To me, design is far more than aesthetics or utility; it's a deep understanding of a domain and its community. It's about creating products and experiences that resonate with people, ensuring they hold a meaningful place in their lives. It's about evolving this relationship of interaction and experience over time, and crafting solutions that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant and visually compelling.

Design is the medium through which I express the change I want to see in the world, and work with people and teams attempting to do the same.
