Information
I’m a Stockholm-based Product Designer—a builder at heart—with a background that bridges code, design, and product. Over the past decade, I’ve moved between building, designing, and enabling others to build smarter.
I’ve worked with startups like SlideShare (acquired by LinkedIn) and scale-ups turned unicorns, including BrowserStack, ClearTax (YC ’14), and Epidemic Sound. I’ve also been a long-term contributor to NextCloud through Google’s Open Source Program. Since 2021, I’ve been leading design for the editor experience at Mentimeter.

A bit more in detail
I was born and raised in New Delhi, where I spent most of my time geeking out over physics and math before heading off to study engineering. It didn’t take long to realize I wasn’t exactly built for it—but a beginner’s course in software engineering introduced me to Linux, open source, and the joy of tinkering with things I barely understood.
That curiosity pulled me into the KDE and ownCloud communities (later Nextcloud), where I went from giving casual design feedback to co-authoring the calendar app and co-maintaining its frontend alongside 150+ contributors. Two Google Open Source internships later, I’d found myself firmly between design and engineering.
Along the way, I interned at SlideShare during its acquisition by LinkedIn (where I learned D3 and data visualization) and at IDC, IIT Bombay, where I explored type design, UX research, and open-source tools for Indic languages. After barely graduating, I joined BrowserStack as a UX designer, working on their rebrand and pricing experiments, followed by a short but intense stint at ClearTax, India’s first YC-backed fintech.
In 2016, I moved to Stockholm to pursue a Master’s degree in Human Computer Interaction at KTH. Two years later, I joined Epidemic Sound as one of their early designers—working on everything from subscriptions and branding to building Kosmos, the product powering 30,000 tracks and 100,000 sound effects. By the time I left, Epidemic had scaled into the unicorn it is today.
Now, I lead design for the editor experience at Mentimeter, shaping tools that make presenting and teaching more engaging for millions of users worldwide.
