About
With a diverse educational background in commerce and civil engineering, I have seamlessly transitioned into the entrepreneurial and design sectors. I founded DARWA JEWELLERY in 2023, where I oversee all facets of the business, from creative direction to strategic planning, ensuring each piece reflects our commitment to quality and storytelling. My previous role as a UX/UI Designer at Robonist Makers Lab allowed me to enhance STEM education through user-centered design, focusing on intuitive navigation and interactive learning. Prior to that, I honed my leadership skills as a Team Lead at GIVA, where I guided a team towards achieving organizational goals. My journey reflects a blend of creativity, leadership, and innovation, driven by a passion for crafting unique experiences and products.
