I pursued PhD in Interaction Design from IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay, India.
In the research work, I investigated the design strategies for Augmented Reality based learning experience in K-12 classrooms, under the supervision of Dr. Jayesh S. Pillai.
I am a passionate designer + researcher with the urge to learn and explore more. I am skilled in User Experience (UX) Design, Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), HCI and Educational Technology. While observing the behaviours of people around me, I collaboratively work towards enhancing those experiences through creative and innovative design solutions. While procrastinating at times, I am good at finding timely Jugaads!
When I am not in the design and/or research mode, you can find me travelling and exploring a new city, doing landscape or portrait sketches, petting dogs, singing my heart out, or running a marathon. With a few years of training in Hindustani Classical Music, I love to stay connected with music in leisure hours.
