About

My background is in visual design, but the career I actually built was about solving problems that visuals alone couldn't fix. A decade leading design in international nonprofits meant every project came loaded with layers most processes don't account for: cultural nuances, language barriers, and communities with vastly different relationships to the institutions I was designing for.

Understanding those layers before touching anything visual became my default. It's what led me to UX, and how I approach everything now.

Recent work spans client projects and independent builds. Client side: a rebrand that unified a fragmented nonprofit across 17 countries, and the first self-service laundromat launch in Northeast India, designed for a market where the concept was completely unfamiliar. Independent builds: MyRateKit, a free financial toolkit for freelancers across four countries, and EntryRight, a visa stay planner for digital nomads. Both shipped as solo builds, from research to live product.
