About
I am an User Experience Designer with a background in Computer Science. I love to craft simple and delightful product experiences.
My expertise spans across Technical Communication & Training, Process Documentation, Data Analysis, Business Analysis, User Experience Design, and User Interface Design. I have good solid experience for a multitude of international clients from industries such as financial services, telecom, government, and healthcare. I have designed UX solutions primarily for the Web, Desktop Clients and Mobile (iOS and Android) platforms .
I have experience in Technical & Content Writing for two years, working with clients in India and Europe, and am well equipped to jump in and wear the Content Editor's hat while working on UX Design.
Outside of work, I am spending time outdoors hiking + camping with friends and family, aspiring to be a street photographer and updating myself on the design and technology front through blogs, social networking and meetups in and around the Bay area. -
