I was born in Chennai, India and grew up across different cities due to the nature of my parent’s job. Moving around meant that I was constantly surrounded by different cultures and perspectives, which shaped me into someone adaptable and open-minded wherever I go.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been drawn to art and tinkering. Sketching wherever I could or taking my toys apart and putting them back together. At six, I even joined a local art school and earned a junior fine art diploma. That mix of curiosity and creativity has always defined me, and eventually it’s what led me into engineering.

I majored in automobile engineering, where I became fascinated by how design solves real life problems. That interest deepened during my thesis project, where I explored the feasibility of a foldable motorcycle helmet to make everyday safety gear more practical and portable.

While the project was exciting to work on, it also made me realize the creative limitations within engineering design. That curiosity eventually led me to UX design, where I found the right balance of problem-solving and creative freedom.
