My Design Ethos

Over the years, I’ve refined my design ethos around these core principles: 

Problem-solving Approach

Rather than limiting myself to familiar tools and skills, I approach design with a focus on solving problems directly. I adapt and expand my skill set to suit the demands of every unique challenge.

Embracing Complexity

I believe complexity is an important part of the design world, and shouldn’t be avoided in an effort to simplify things. It lends the essential richness to the design process that sets apart great products. 

Collaborative Ownership

My productivity thrives in a collaborative environment where I feel a strong sense of belonging to the team. I take personal responsibility for our collective objectives and work towards them with a sense of ownership and commitment.

I'm also a certified classical yoga teacher and practitioner.

In 2021, I spent 5 months at the Isha Yoga Center, learning classical yoga in it’s purest form. It was here in the Velliangiri Foothills of Southern India that I learned about the highly nuanced ways of the human system and it’s boundless nature.
