My Story
From a very young age, I've been deeply enamored with art and design. It all began with my aunt, a talented ceramicist and potter, whose work profoundly influenced me. Her creations sparked my curiosity and fascination for aesthetics, driving me to seek deeper meanings in everything around me. This quest for understanding led me to explore the functional aspects of design from an early age.
I pursued my passion academically, earning a Bachelor of Design from NIFT, Kannur. Those four years were transformative, filled with magical experiences and significant learning. A testament to my dedication was receiving the Best Graduation Project Award in 2015.
In the ensuing years, I've had the privilege of working with several established brands and companies, honing my skills in crafting user experiences and interfaces. My experience spans diverse domains, from social media and marketing to product design, allowing me to collaborate with an array of talented designers. This journey has not only strengthened my design skills but also enriched my understanding of products, business, and technology, with a keen focus on the minutiae that make good design great.
Currently, I am part of the team at SearchUnify, where my focus lies in visual design, accessibility, and developing design systems. My work is guided by three core principles: problem-solving, ease of access, and sustainability.
Outside of work, I indulge in my love for typography and illustration, and enjoy strumming the ukulele.
