about me
I’m a product and visual designer whose interdisciplinary background shapes a research-driven and systems-oriented approach to design. My work spans UX/UI, product design, branding, and digital storytelling, with a focus on simplifying complex problems into clear, engaging, and intuitive experiences.
Originally from Nepal, I’m currently based in New York. I hold a degree in Computer Science and Information Technology and am pursuing my Master’s in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design. Prior to this, I worked as a senior designer at Programiz, where I led design initiatives across product and marketing, and contributed to building scalable, user-centered platforms.
Outside of work, I spend my time working on my art practice, exploring ideas for interactive experiences, going to the gym (mostly for abs I swear), and overthinking concepts for projects I haven’t started yet.
