A critical thinker, chanelling my overthinking skills to build equitable & accessible solutions
This is a constant work in progress,its not perfect, because the thinking is handcrafted..
Work experience
Bioadaptive Interface Lab
UX Researcher/Designer(April 2026-December 2026)
I lead the UX research for a VR music therapy game designed for older adults and users with mild cognitive disabilities, which I recently presented at AGEWELL 2026. My work spans the entire research process, from handling ethics approvals to running playtesting sessions. I translate these user insights into high-fidelity UI references and actionable recommendations, collaborating closely with developers to ensure the spatial mechanics are fully accessible.
Well Tech Research Lab
UX Researcher(December 2025- April 2026)
I am a UX researcher currently focusing on wearables for older adults and menopausal women, while finalizing an academic paper on web accessibility. My background includes conducting WCAG accessibility audits, leading website redesigns for Well-Tech Labs, building accessible UI templates, and teaching inclusive design.
Cognizant Technology Solutions
Sr. Product Designer(Aug 2021-Jul-2023)
Redesigned dashboards for Caterpillar Inc.’s Health Equipment Insight, reducing information overload by 70% through improved data visualization. I also led the research and design of specialized dark-mode interfaces for underground mining, collaborating with engineering and product teams to ensure usability and consistency in harsh environments.
What I do
UX & Product Design
I design end-to-end product experiences that simplify complex systems, from data-heavy enterprise dashboards to accessible public transit interfaces.
Inclusive & Accessible UI
I create WCAG-compliant interfaces and design systems, prioritizing accessibility for users with cognitive, visual, and motor constraints.
Prototyping
I build high-fidelity digital prototypes in Figma and evaluate spatial UI mechanics to test, validate, and refine complex user flows before developer handoff.
User Research
I lead rigorous research operations—from academic ethics protocols to hands-on playtesting—ensuring every design decision is grounded in real user data.
