My LinkedIn2024-present
At Cognite, I started by working with their design systems team and then slowly migrated to designing their main SaaS product, CDF, end-to-end, working closely with a team of engineers, managers, and designers to deliver user-focused solutions. I regularly integrate several AI tools into my process to build experience-rich prototypes through vibe-coding, enabling quick feedback, testing, and iteration.

As I moved to Oslo to join Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo(AHO), school projects not only nurtured tinkering with abstract ideas but also gave me a platform to collaborate with Lego, VG, NRK and Nordic Ocean Watch- leading me to win the AHO design award for sustainability for a project. While still studying, I experienced working part-time as a UX Designer at Blank AS, a design consultancy based in Oslo.

My design journey started with a strong understanding of the visual medium through a bachelor's in Communication Design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi. My education focused on different ways of visual communication, like graphic design, illustration, and filmmaking.
