PRODUCT DESIGN • 2019

How might we make it easier for users to find the right thali meal out of 60+ varieties?

My most memorable user test moment ever!

“I know the test is done but can I just try it once more? It’s so much fun to see the thali move!”

I wonder.

6 years ago, I left everything my hometown, my flourishing yet uninspiring career in renewable energy & the relevancy of my MBA background to become a designer. It was scary but worth it. Why? Because in design, I found an elevating union of the science & art.


At cult, I led the design system charter from building awareness of its value with the leadership & others, evangelising, creating the system, conducting workshops to help my design team & even product designers use the system in figma to governance & more. I have also contributed in hiring & mentoring capacities & have intermittently lead a team of 2-3 designers on various projects over the years while doing hands-on work on critical projects as well.
