I’m a multidisciplinary designer who turns complex ideas into clear, thoughtful work.With a background in computer science and interaction design, I design websites, online stores and apps, and the content that brings people to them: social posts, ads, videos, AI imagery and sales decks.

Multidisciplinary Designer
I started out in computer science, but found my way into design when I realised I was far more interested in how people actually experience the things we build.
I like understanding why a decision works, experimenting with different approaches, and finding the one that feels right for the problem.
At the same time, I really enjoy the visual side of design. I’ve learnt that how something looks can completely change how it feels to use, so for me, good design has always been a balance of both.
That’s taken me beyond websites and apps, into social posts, ads, videos, emails and AI-generated imagery for the brands I work with.

I was a sari transforms pre-loved saris into one-of-a-kind fashion while creating skilled work opportunities for women artisans in India. I worked on the e-commerce experience, bringing the brand's strong story and visual identity into a shopping journey that makes its products easier to discover and explore.


Interspace connects Indian artists with wider audiences through a curated platform for discovering and collecting art. We designed the digital experience to make a large and varied collection easier to explore, while giving the artists and their work the space to tell their stories.
The experience brings together discovery, storytelling and commerce – helping people find art through artists, collections, mediums and styles, without losing the considered feel of a gallery experience.


Breakaway creates offbeat, curated journeys that connect travellers with India through its people, culture, food and craft. We redesigned the website to bring that spirit of discovery online – making its wide range of experiences easier to explore while giving the stories, places and people behind each journey room to come through.
The experience balances inspiration with discovery, helping travellers understand what makes Breakaway different and find journeys shaped around the way they want to experience India.


Creative Dignity is a collaborative network working to strengthen India’s handmade sector, with artisans at the centre. We redesigned the website to bring its work, initiatives and growing community into a clearer and more connected digital experience.
The new experience brings together the organisation’s impact, programmes, people and stories, making it easier to understand what Creative Dignity does and explore the different ways it supports and connects the handmade ecosystem.


Zeeoma is a Black-owned lifestyle concept store in St. Louis that curates fashion, accessories, art and beauty from leading African designers. I designed the e-commerce experience to bring the feel of its boutique online – rich editorial imagery, simple shopping by category and a premium journey that lets each designer’s work stand out.

Waterful is a daily hydration brand created for busy, active lifestyles. We designed the e-commerce experience to introduce the product in a way that feels fresh and approachable, while making its benefits, flavours and everyday use easy to understand.
The experience brings together brand storytelling and product education with a clear shopping journey, helping customers understand what Waterful offers and find the hydration option that works for them.


PriceEasy is a retail technology platform built for fuel and convenience store businesses. As a Visual, UX Designer, I worked across different parts of the brand and product experience – from redesigning the website and creating the Motiva × PriceEasy gateway to designing an LMS, dashboards, onboarding experiences and supporting visual communication.
My work moved between product and visual design, giving me the opportunity to take complex information and turn it into experiences that were easier to understand, navigate and communicate.


A six-week Interaction Design brief at Monash University: take three screens from an app built the semester before and redesign how they look and feel. I built the new design around positivity, with bright colours and playful egg characters that make logging a meal feel encouraging rather than a chore.
I worked from research and sketches through low-, mid- and high-fidelity wireframes to a full style guide of type, colour, shadows and reusable components.
A food diary app for university students juggling busy schedules and little time to cook well. Students photograph a meal and the AR camera recognises the food and shows its nutrition in real time; a calendar keeps track of what they have eaten, and personalised suggestions offer healthier alternatives and portion guidance.
Designed over six weeks, from background research and user flows to mid- and high-fidelity screens.

The agency I design for: its own reels and ads, the films on its website’s portfolio, its Google Ads campaign and its hiring posts.
Reels and a square ad for KLoc’s Instagram and paid campaigns, cut from the websites and apps the team has built.
Short films for the portfolio on KLoc’s website: each one walks through a store or site the team built, in about half a minute.
A Google Ads campaign for KLoc’s Shopify development: one idea per ad, each made in the portrait, square and landscape sizes Google asks for.

A site banner, a New Arrivals banner and a sale post for the anniversary, the last two built with pictures made using AI.




A handwoven clothing label: sale banners for its online store and a header for each story on its blog.
Two banners for the store, then a header for each blog story through the festivals and seasons of the year, built around the label’s own photography.

Five images per flavour for the product page: the drink in use, the drink being made and the nutrition panel.





The same look carried across every flavour, so the range reads as one brand.







Supplements formulated for life on the water.
Pictures made with AI for the two powders, Last Light and First Light: at dusk, as a flat lay, on ice and on sand.
