From a young age, my life has been a constant journey of exploration and adaptation. As I changed schools about five times due to my father's job transfers, I traveled to different places, each time making new friends and immersing myself in new environments. Through this, I found solace and consistency in creativity—whether it was drawing, painting, or craft. Art became my language, a medium through which I could express myself.

​

Alongside my creative pursuits, I developed an interest in technology. By the end of my schooling, I found myself at a crossroads, trying to find a path that combined both these passions. Architecture appeared to be the perfect blend of the technical and creative, so I chose to pursue it and joined the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Delhi.

​

However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, as classes shifted online, I had the opportunity to engage with other creative fields like animation and graphic design. While I enjoyed architecture, I realized it wasn't the perfect fit. Something was missing. I began discussing my thoughts with close friends, and many suggested that I explore design as a career. This advice prompted deeper research, leading me to discover IDC at IIT Bombay.

​

The interdisciplinary nature of IDC, where I could explore various facets of design, appealed to me. Upon joining, I immersed myself in different fields, experimenting with animation, graphic design, and more. A turning point came when a senior introduced me to Interaction Design. Intrigued, I asked to join one of his projects, and he kindly allowed me to do so. That project was a revelation—I found a discipline that not only combined my love for creativity and technology but also allowed me to engage deeply with users, using empathy to solve problems.

​

Since then, I’ve focused on honing my skills in interaction design, and each project has been a learning experience. I have discovered that this is the field where my passion for creativity, technology, and human-centered design all come together. It’s a discipline that pushes me to innovate while staying connected to the people I design for.

With a clear sense of direction, I am eager to continue my journey in design, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.
