About Me

I am a 24-year-old designer from India, curious about finding answers to all the hows, whats and whys around me. I completed my graduation as a product designer from MIT Institute of Design in 2021 with a first class with distinction. Always fascinated by lifestyle products and interiors, post-graduation I worked at a luxury lighting firm named 'Arjun Rathi Design' in Mumbai. My work involved not only design but also led production and installation and assisted in studio management. Apart from this I also trained new joiners and that's where my spark for mentoring started. Today I often cater to calls like - 'I finished my graduation and I'm unable to land my first job' or 'I'm not seeing growth in this job. Should I quit?' I've dealt with these questions myself and I know it's not an easy journey. So I'm here to help you unlock your potential by sharing my experiences of how I cracked the code and got for 7 job positions after applying to over 50. (This list of 7 even includes my dream company 'Ikea'.) Currently working as a freelancer, I can mentor you to figure out the next design thing apt for your profile - be it an undergrad/master or a job switch or elevating your design profile.
