Work
(01 - 05)
As an ex - member of the design leadership team at Adobe India, I have an extensive portfolio of leading and managing design teams focusing on the core user experience of digital design tools for creatives, including graphic designers, illustrators, 3D artists, and creative crafters. My expertise extends across vector graphics, raster imagery, and innovations around the core pillars of design craft; like drawing, colouring, typography, composition, generative AI and creative assistance along with building bridges to close gaps across 2D and 3D design workflows, with multiple patents to my name.
I regularly share insights at global conferences including Adobe Max, IXDC China, and Nasscom Tech Summits.
Through my leadership, I aim to inspire and empower others to achieve their full potential, driving innovation and fostering creativity across the organization and have huge empathy towards human growth and work-life balance.
Open to on-site, hybrid or remote opportunities that excite me.
Personal
I like to detox digitally from devices by travelling and sketching, doing pottery, illustrating, art directing, visualising ideas and experimenting with 3d and Gen Ai. I like to understand problems to solve them collaboratively.
Giving back to the community and helping the underprivileged has been my motto. I work with CSR teams at Adobe to create change across communities in India that need help.
