👋 Hello, I am a Creative Director and Designer with a deep passion for crafting authentic brand experiences. Most recently, at Google Brand Studio, I’ve led/contributed to key projects including the Google AI x Accessibility feature, Google AI brand expressions, new Google employee badge and more... Before Google, I was working at global branding agency, Landor, client including DC comics, Yahoo, Children’s Creativity Museum, SKYY vodka and more.

🤓 I excel at uncovering a brand’s unique potential and creating compelling identities and experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. Recognizing that a brand is a dynamic entity requiring continuous care and evolution, I focus on creating the agile and coherent design systems and organizational structures to support long-term effectiveness . My decade of experience working on Google's ever evolving brand has given me invaluable insights into this process. 

🤖 In addition to my design work, I enjoy collaborating with AI tools to explore creative possibilities. I have led the desig of new Google AI affective computing x Accessibility feature where it helps ‘everyone’ enjoy the contents. I was a tester for numerous early-stage generative AI tools like Style Drop. I’m excited about developing tools to push our creative boundaries.

🌈 I've had the privilege of leading cross-functional teams and teaching MFA classes, and I find great fulfillment in mentoring young creatives. Additionally, I’ve volunteered with an educational nonprofit in New Delhi to support underprivileged children and mentored high school students from rural areas in Japan. I am dedicated to fostering future creative minds and creating opportunities for all.

🏆My work has been recognized with numerous international awards, including Cannes Design Lions, Type Directors Club, D&AD, Graphis, The One Show, and more. 🙌
