FRAME
WORK
From understanding the strategic value and business dynamics of an organization's product or service, to having an artistic eye for visual designs at a pixel level, I support client’s project vision and development process. I simplify complex problems into compelling design solutions and think systematically to create scalable design opportunities at every stage. Concurrently making sure the end solution meets business requirements as well as customer needs. With a focus on user experience, I combine Design Thinking with Design Doing in order to develop innovative and relevant solutions for sustainable products, services and processes across industries.
