An enthusiastic learner, innovative individual keen on pacing technology, detailed aspects and an overall efficient person.
Having completed my Masters in Product Design and Engineering I have been trained to discover and analyze the user needs, empathize them, thoroughly understand them, prioritize and convert them to design aspects. Also, generate a wide range of concepts based on numerous ideas and to visualize these concepts using software tools and rendering for visual appearance. Designing user-centric products are of my importance. Physical building of conceptual prototype would be another area of my expertise.

Greendzine Pvt. Ltd.
Industrial Designer
I was the Design lead on a project based on India's first electric Trike with Tilting wheel concept. My areas of focus were User Research, Concept Development, Styling, Modelling, and Prototyping.
Initially, the focus was basically on understanding the user scenario in Indian conditions, be it personal use or for a resort like setting, as it was intended to. Generated concepts, even varying them at the component level and had generated exhaustive stylings for the trike.
A final concept was selected with one of the stylings and created an engineering 3D model resembling the same. A prototype was built on 1:1 scaling for realization.
