HOW I DESIGN

UX Researcher and Product designer who balances the rigor of big tech with the scrappiness of a startup in her approach. Expert at wading through unstructured data to scope and design product solutions. Especially drawn to products built around AI and the craft of cultivating a simple, joyful, and trust-worthy user experience.

I have two degrees from Stanford, in Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science. My work experience spans UX research at Google, product design at Block Party, design engineering at YourEDU and teaching design at Stanford. In my free time, I love tinkering with new creative tools to build fun and beautiful AI products like MindCompass, Santa Bot and even this website itself.

I'm drawn to problems at the bleeding edge of technology, the ones for which no one has discovered the answers yet. Designing for these systems means research and design have to be deeply intertwined, and that's exactly how I like to work.

Outside of design, I'm constantly learning about new ideas through reading, writing, and participating in public discussions. To read about some of my ideas you may check out The Los Angeles Times, The SF Mercury, or The Stanford Daily. I've also spoken at venues such as The Indian Consulate of Seattle, a UN Panel, and in an address to the incoming class of 2027 at Stanford. While design is how I shape systems, writing and speaking empower me to interrogate them.
