My story ↓

My story ↓

My story ↓

I design for the moments when millions of people sit back, pick up a remote, and expect things to just work. That expectation—simple on the surface, complex underneath—is what drew me to streaming and keeps me curious.


I grew up between India and Singapore, and later moved to the U.S., where living in New York and studying at Parsons exposed me to a mix of cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences. It shaped how I understand behavior and context, and is a constant reminder that what feels intuitive to one person might not to another.


Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked across TV, mobile, and web, building live and on-demand experiences that balance fan delight with real business impact. At Sling, I lead work across core, sports interactivity, monetization, and growth, often unifying complex systems so teams can ship faster and smarter.


My approach centers on reframing problems, grounding decisions in real user behavior, and designing inclusive, effortless experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring designers, exploring art and travel, and staying deeply invested in games and storytelling.
