Mumbai - Engineering (Sem V)
Sitting on Marine drive, completely soaked in the rains of Mumbai, I realized that my passion for technology felt incomplete. There was something missing. It craved for the beauty of human emotions. That's when I started looking for the missing piece. Design!
In the enchanting city of Nagpur, Maharashtra, where the air is perfumed with the sweet fragrance of oranges, my journey as a young artist unfolded. Nurtured amidst the tapestry of rich cultural heritage and the warm embrace of hospitality, I imbibed a deep reverence for art, the beauty of simplicity, and the celebration of diversity.

Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, specializing in Information Technology, I acquired a solid foundation in technical prowess and honed my problem-solving skills. Yet, it was within the hallowed halls of the esteemed National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad that the kaleidoscope of my destiny took a thrilling turn.

Immersing myself in the captivating realm of Animation Film Design, I embarked on a transformative odyssey at NID. Here, I unraveled the art of visual storytelling, mastering the language of communication through captivating imagery and the seamless interplay of design principles. This delicate fusion of technology and artistic expression kindled an untamed fire within me, sparking a profound curiosity to explore the untapped possibilities of integrating these realms with the vast domain of product design.

Today, as a product designer, I harness the duality of my educational tapestry. Merging the logical acuity and analytical prowess of my engineering background with the imaginative brilliance and design principles imbibed during my Master's journey, I weave an extraordinary tapestry of innovation.

It is the belief in the transformative power of my distinct educational mosaic that fuels my unwavering commitment to make an indelible impact in the world of product design. Drawing upon the synergistic blend of engineering and animation film design, I embark on a perpetual quest to create immersive experiences that resonate profoundly with users, engendering moments of delight, and catalyzing positive transformations in their lives.

How storytelling influences your product decisions (Apr 2024)

Stories have shaped the human history as we perceive it today. They come in many forms - written, spoken, believed, ritualised - ultimately shaping the reality itself. How can we as designers, leverage storytelling and it's intricacies to build better products.
