Intro
As a design leader with 12+ years crafting user experiences for creative tools and aiding with thought leadership behind digital products, I am passionate about working with people and leveraging technology to solve human problems at scale.
I like building strong design teams and collaborating with product and technology stakeholders to understand the true business value of product design. I also love being a mom to little Advait.
Currently sharing my views with content creation on AI, design and leadership. Previously, engaged as Senior Product Design Manager for Adobe Illustrator, leading the vector graphics application for 5.1M+ active users.

Work
(01 - 05)
As an ex - member of the design leadership team at Adobe India, I have an extensive portfolio of leading and managing design teams focusing on the core user experience of digital design tools for creatives, including graphic designers, illustrators, 3D artists, and creative crafters. My expertise extends across vector graphics, raster imagery, and innovations around the core pillars of design craft; like drawing, colouring, typography, composition, generative AI and creative assistance along with building bridges to close gaps across 2D and 3D design workflows, with multiple patents to my name.
Through my leadership, I aim to inspire and empower others to achieve their full potential, driving innovation and fostering creativity across the organization and have huge empathy towards human growth and work-life balance.
Personal
I like to detox digitally from devices by travelling and sketching, doing pottery, illustrating, art directing, visualising ideas and experimenting with 3d and Gen Ai. I like to understand problems to solve them collaboratively.
Giving back to the community and helping the underprivileged has been my motto. I work with CSR teams at Adobe to create change across communities in India that need help.
