As a designer, trained at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, my interests lie in creating need-led solutions to complex problems, particularly in healthcare. I enjoy working with small and medium enterprises, research and education institutes, and humanitarian organizations, developing novel technologies in affordable and accessible medical devices, assistive technology solutions and products for lifestyle change.
My consultancy experiences cover a breadth of designed outcomes, ranging from hand-held surgical tools, to digital interactions and conceptual exploration of novel experiences through tangible and intangible media. My typical involvement in projects includes end-to-end design of new products, design audits and redesign projects, and conceptual development of new technologies.
My current practice explores the role of wearable health technologies in encouraging lifestyle change for chronic non-communicable diseases. I look forward to hearing from you about opportunities to develop a more equitable society through design.
