Tinkerer by choice, designer by profession
Human Interface Designer at Apple
Prior to this I was at Airbnb where I focused on interactions, design system and worked on almost all the product surfaces over my 4.5 years there. Before that I was a Founding Designer at Clara — a new way of interacting with computers and information. Long time ago I was at Facebook, building systems for the society as a product designer. I was the first full-time designer at Pulse, an Apple Design Award winning news app (now acquired by LinkedIn).
I currently live in Oakland with my partner and our cute little dogs Waffee & Tiramisu. I was born and raised in India.
Travel. Photography. Yoga. Meditation. Fitness. Biking. Fashion. Violin.
I find great joy in travel & photography. I try to travel to a new country every year. Learning about how people are different and yet the same across the world has had the most impact on my worldview and design practice.
I typically shoot with my iPhone or my Leica M 240 with a Summilux 50mm/1.4 lens. Rarely I use my SX-70 for polaroids and Bessaflex for 35mm film photography.
I love a good workout - be that strength training in our garage gym, early morning yoga sessions or biking with friends.
One day I would love to do something in the field of fashion design & interior design. Deciding what to wear on a given day and reimagining spaces is my joie de vivre.
In 2017 I started learning violin. It has been a humbling experience so far.
