Who am I?
An alternate path
Anything to do with history would have been my alternate career path. I just love falling into historical rabbit holes, and I can lose a whole evening to one, reading about places and people long gone.
What I care about
Sustainability and feminism are deeply linked in how I see the world. Nature gives birth to us the way women do; both create life, and both get taken for granted. I find it hard to care about one without the other.
Two artists I love
I love Van Gogh for the irony of his most vibrant colour coming from his darkest mental states, and Amrita Sher-Gil for how boldly she painted Indian women, decades ahead of her time.
A stubborn memory
I'll casually bring up something you told me years ago, and it always surprises people. The small thing you mentioned once in passing stays with me, whether I want it to or not.
I notice the small stuff
I'm extremely observant and notice details most people miss. A misaligned label, a new haircut, the one word someone avoided. It makes me better at design, and harder to surprise.
Things I've designed and shipped
Cravv, the device
A device that mounts above the cooktop, reads the pan with a camera and a thermal sensor, and talks the cook through each step out loud.
Cravv, the companion app
Everything that can't happen at the stove. Recipes in, the cook guided, and what you ate logged and scored against your own targets.
Sapio
A reading companion that starts with how you feel instead of what genre you want, then makes tracking something you'd actually do.
DOAB
A slow-fashion label I co-founded. Brand, packaging, the Shopify store, the photography and the voice, from launch to close.
Lowtide
16 activities and 6 soundscapes for ADHD, anxiety and OCD. No accounts, no streaks, nothing stored.
Things I made that nobody asked for
Yatri
A travel guide for all major Indian cities. Everything you need to know before visiting.
UX Quest
A gamified quiz app to learn and revise UX design principles.
Compy Decides
A computer-vision bot who plays rock-paper-scissors to help you solve life's dilemmas.
Vincent
3 illustrations and 2 poems. Recreating Starry Night, Sunflowers and Self-Portrait; the poems are my own.
Everyday Heroine
A photography project capturing the daily routine of my mother.
Banta Reimagined
A branding and marketing study for the nostalgic Indian lemon soda, inspired by the lemon in my kitchen.
