I am deeply enthusiastic about creating human centered products and services that elegantly bridges the fundamentals of engineering, intricacies of design, and convenience of technology to maximise their overall potential.
Through my interdisciplinary background, I offer a versatile and inventive perspective to solve design and engineering challenges whilst excelling in collaborative environments. My passion towards communicating to users in order to understand their needs and challenges they face on a day to day life is the principle behind my design thinking, ideation and prototyping process.
Being an intuitive, pragmatic and motivated individual, I am willing to push my limits and expand my skills to solve design engineering challenges that come my way. As an active team member, I always strive for combined success of the team including myself. Always on the go and ready to take up challenges with a never say die attitude helps me to be the person who I am.

Awarded to by the Dyson School of Design Engineering to the group with the most innovative outcome for the Industrial Design Engineering Module that consists of various elements of coding, electronics prototyping and physical modelling.
The project, MAMILLA, is a device designed to encourage, empower and educate new mothers to pursue breastfeeding. This device is a handheld device that the user places over their breast and makes adjustments to learn about the essential features of a optimised latch and what it feels like. The intention is to take the pressure off mothers to get it right the first time, to educate them about how to breastfeed comfortably and give them the confidence to continue to breastfeed.
