About

With over 4+ years of experience, I am currently a Technical Designer focused on building human-centered 3D and AI-enabled product systems at scale. At Gap Inc.’s Digital Product Team, I lead initiatives that transform complex garment workflows into intuitive, outcome-driven tools that boost speed, accuracy, and cross-functional collaboration. My focus lies in merging 3D visualization with UX and system design, turning digital assets into interactive platforms for fit evaluation, personalization, and product development. As a designer I work closely with engineering, and sourcing teams to ensure these systems are usable, scalable, and adaptable. In earlier roles, I focused on visual design across 3D fashion, branding, and motion storytelling. At WeWeave3D, I led cinematic 3D campaigns for brands like Jack & Jones. At Myntra, I created culturally informed graphics and print stories, while at Arvind I contributed to trend-based design development for H&M and U.S. Polo Assn.
