How My Design Journey Started

Product designing is my jam! I came to know about this field during my university days as a Computer Science student. Freelancing for various clients opened my eyes to the world of design, and I thrived on the diverse projects and challenges. After graduation, I knew this was the path for me – a career in product design. Every day brings fulfilling challenges that keep me hooked.

My Hobbies

A healthy work-life balance is key. For me, that means indulging in my hobbies outside of work. Whether it's playing football, diving into informative articles, or catching up with friends, these activities are my recipe for unwinding and recharging. They fuel my creativity and prepare me for the next exciting design adventure.

Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of expertise in user research and design, building successful user-centered products.

Work Experience

Career Growth

I began my career as a UI/UX Designer in a fast-paced services environment, collaborating with international clients and building a strong foundation in user-centered design, visual clarity, and communication. I then evolved into a Product Designer, taking ownership of end-to-end product journeys, shaping system experiences, and aligning design decisions with business outcomes.

Now, as a Senior UI/UX Designer at Cogent Labs, I work at the intersection of design, AI and engineering, building AI-to-design workflows from zero to one and taking products from first concept to tested, dev-ready builds, shipped with Claude Code.
