About me
I am an Experience Design lead with over 14 years of practice in creating digital solutions for B2C and B2B across touchpoints. I am passionate about turning problems into opportunities and creating solutions that are useful & engaging for the users and impactful & effective for the clients’ businesses. Currently, I am working at SapientRazorfish as an Experience Design Lead. My main focus areas are Strategic UX, Information Architecture, Interaction Design & at times touching on Service Design.
