Bio
I’m a product leader and design researcher passionate about building responsible, human-centered AI systems. With a background in UX research and a deep foundation in emerging technologies, I’ve led interdisciplinary teams across Amazon, Uber, and Google — helping shape products at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and accessibility.
After earning my Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction + Design from the University of Washington, I spent several years driving global research initiatives for conversational AI, mobile vision, and industrial IoT. Today, I work as a Senior Product Manager at Amazon Shopping Personalization, leading efforts to make healthcare more intuitive and personalized through context-aware, AI-powered experiences.
Beyond work, I serve as Chair of IEEE’s Designing for Rural Communities initiative and contribute to several tech ethics and AI UX communities. I’m also a visual artist, with my work featured in the Contemporary Art Curator magazine — always seeking new ways to blend systems thinking with social impact.
How I work?
Research. I love learning about people and care deeply about their concerns, beliefs and emotions. Thus, my first step is to collaborate with my users - listening to them, observing their processes and co-creating with them. I like to put much thought in the selection of my research methods in order to ensure that they help me learn about my users in great depth while not causing them discomfort. My experience working with diverse cultures helps me make sure that my research methods are always 'culture appropriate'. The process of user research is spiritual for me because it helps me practice detachment from my biases and perceptions while helping me step into my user's shoes in order to be able to empathize with them.
Prototype. I enjoy the process of coding my research findings and making visualizations that help me distill as well as effectively communicate my findings. These findings in turn inform the design of my prototypes. I use my prototyping and programming skills to translate my findings into quick prototypes that I take back to my users and seek their feedback at multiple points in my process. I believe in iterative design.
Grow Together. You will always find me enthused about collaborating and working with multidisciplinary teams, understanding the challenges that different problem spaces may pose for us and exploring creative methods to break through the same. All my team projects till date have always helped me grow personally.
