I was born and brought up in the city of Jaipur in India and obtained my Bachelors of Technology in the field of Mechanical Engineering from Rajasthan Technical University in 2010. Soon after I joined Honda Motors to work as Executive Engineer in their Research & Development division in India. In the next 2 years, I got the opportunity to collaborate with teams in Thailand & Japan working on multiple product lineups. I worked on myriads of projects for domestic & international markets in the field of automobile engineering, engineering research & testing, user research, product planning & strategy. I also represented Honda India team at the World Honda NHC Convention in Vietnam held in 2011.
Over several interactions with the design team at Honda, I realised my keen interest in Design Thinking. By 2012 I decided to pursue my Masters of Design from National Institute of Design, established in 1961 as India's first Design School. I obtained my specialisation in Strategic Design Management, a research intensive design management course which honed my design aptitude to solve realtime business problems by developing solutions that lead to delightful customer experiences in form of product or service.
After finishing the course in 2014, I worked with many leading design studios and corporates such as Robert Bosch, Studio ABD and Naukri.com developing high impact Web & Mobile Interfaces/Applications focusing on accomplishing goal based on user's mental model for overall delightful experience. After spending the early and mid phases of my creative career in India in varied industries such as Automobile, Travel, Hiring/Job Hunting, Lifestyle products & E-commerce, I am here in United States to embark the next phase of my design journey.
