I recently entered the world of accessible design and since then have been on an attempt to make the world more inclusive, one design at a time.
Before stepping into experience design, I worked as an architect which has greatly helped me develop an empathy for user needs which in turn translate into user centric solutions.
When not designing, you can find me cozying up with a book or on the hunt for a good biriyani spot around or just trying out a DIY!
