About Me
Born in Hyderabad, India, my journey to design began with my grandfather's jewelry craftsmanship. Fascinated by his artistry, I developed a passion for design at an early age. With limited specialized design education in India, I pursued Architecture, focusing on sustainable practices. After immigrating to the United States, discovering SJSU's MDes program felt like finding my true calling—a perfect blend of my childhood passion and professional aspirations. The program allowed me to explore every aspect of UX research and design, from user interviews to prototype development. This journey from watching my grandfather create jewelry to becoming a designer myself represents my commitment to thoughtful, user-centered design principles that honor both tradition and innovation.
