Hello!
I am a Human Centered Design student at Srishti Manipal Institute.
I was born and brought up in Bengaluru, moved to Aurangabad, Maharastra for two years, (I learnt some Hindi there), came back to BLR. Now I am that dude that always says nothing beats BLR.
I started designing websites when I was in 9th grade, that's when we got the first computer at our house, an iMac, that moment changed my life forever, I fell in love the experience it provided. That is when I found my interest in crafting experiences that stand out and create delightful and memorable experiences.
Aviation stole my heart on my first flight but my shaky math skills grounded my dreams of ever piloting a plane. Now I spend half my time on Figma and the other half making bad jokes.

I have been developing websites on no-code tools since my school days, I started out with creating a small website for my class where we could all access out test schedules, study resources and other events. I created this page to ease the pain of all my friends having to manually take down notes and share it with each-other because all the information would be posted on a notice board. Ever since I have worked with clients from various industries and backgrounds to establish their web presence. Here are a few of them

I continued being a member of the student council in my college days and had the incredible opportunity to handle multiple teams and learn from great people.
