I've been leading Product Design and Research at Workato for the last 10 years.

With two master's and a bachelor's degree, my formal training spans physical product design, visual communication, psychology, and human factors.

Before Workato, I co-founded MyNewsStudio. We built a good product, but the business model was not viable. We also tried to do too much at once. The experience showed me that design alone cannot create success. Product strategy, revenue model, sales, distribution, and marketing all have to work together. Focus is a business decision. We eventually wound down the company, so knowing when to walk away was my hardest lesson.

Before software, I designed tabletop accessories for Episode, an Indian design brand. Sixteen years later, elements of that work are still sold and used to market the collection. I've also created art installations, designed luxury retail spaces, and worked as a design merchandiser.

I'm looking to build with companies, in software or hardware, where the hard part is making powerful systems people can trust.
