About Me

I am a user experience designer, I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, US and National Institute of Design(NID), India. I also have a background in Computer Science.

I painted cows blue when I was in kindergarten. I still believe blue cows would look awesome.

I love traveling and getting to know other cultures. I lived in Japan for 4 months working for Sharp R&D and had a great time there. I learnt to read a bit of Japanese, got a first hand experience at Manga, Anime and the brilliant Japanese product design sense. I’ve documented all my Japanese experiences in my personal blog and also made an infographic on the cultural difference between America, India and Japan.

I plan to create the Holodeck one day.
