Designing AI-nativedigital experiences,from ambiguous conceptto working product.
Currently designing GenAI products at CRISIL. Six years across enterprise AI tools, field-ready mobile products, and consumer service platforms. I turn vague briefs into shipped experiences people can trust and use.

About
I work where strategy, AI, and craft meet.
I specialize in turning ambiguous product bets into usable systems: mapping messy workflows, shaping the product model, and prototyping until teams can see the path from idea to shipped experience.
Most days I am designing with domain experts, engineers, and business stakeholders, using Figma and code prototypes to make complex AI behavior easier to review, trust, and act on.
Before CRISIL, I spent close to three years at Wadhwani AI — a nonprofit whose AI solutions have reached 190 million+ people across health, agriculture, and education — designing the field-ready end of that work: tools farmers and frontline workers actually hold.
My work spans professional intelligence tools, financial monitoring dashboards, field-ready agriculture apps, and consumer mobility services. Across them, the thread is the same: translate complexity into digital experiences that feel clear, useful, and worth returning to.

The work I am proudest of right now is not on this page.
At CRISIL I design enterprise GenAI products — research and reporting workflows, monitoring dashboards, and the review states that let analysts judge what a model produced before they act on it. That work is client-confidential, so it stays off the public web.
I can ship production AI UX for the hardest conditions — low literacy, low connectivity, high stakes.
About the work
A production mobile app helping cotton farmers identify pest risk early and take timely action — 10K+ downloads on Google Play. I led UX for field conditions where connectivity, literacy, and trust shape every interaction.
What I did
→Designed camera-to-diagnosis flows for fast field use
→Simplified AI inference, confidence, and next-action guidance
→Adapted interactions for low-literacy, low-connectivity contexts
→Validated flows through field research and usability testing across India
I can structure a sprawling service ecosystem into one coherent, conversion-ready consumer product.
About the work
A consumer mobility platform for car wash, servicing, tyres, roadside assistance, rentals, insurance, and test-drive booking. I designed the service ecosystem end-to-end, connecting discovery, booking, account, and category flows into one mobile-first experience.
What I did
→Mapped an 8+ category service model into a single app structure
→Designed booking, discovery, account, and support flows
→Created reusable mobile patterns for service comparison and conversion
→Turned a broad freelance brief into a polished consumer product experience
I care about outcomes you can feel: clear experiences, useful systems, and teams that ship with confidence.
