AP Story
My foundation in design began early, influenced by hands-on exposure to visual communication through my family’s printing and photo studio business. This early experience developed my understanding of branding, layout, and visual clarity.
While pursuing a Master of Computer Applications (MCA), I recognized that my long-term interest lay in product and experience design. I transitioned intentionally into the design field, beginning with internships in digital agencies where I developed strong fundamentals in UI/UX, interaction design, and user behavior analysis using tools like Figma and WordPress.
To strengthen my product thinking, I pursued structured UI/UX training and subsequently moved into a product-based organization. There, I contributed to communication platforms and e-learning systems, gaining hands-on experience in scalable product environments, cross-functional collaboration, and end-to-end feature delivery.
Throughout my early career, I faced challenges — particularly in articulating my ideas during interviews. Those experiences pushed me to refine not only my design craft but also my communication, stakeholder alignment, and presentation skills.
Joining Quickplay marked a significant step in my growth. Working within a large-scale product ecosystem, I gained exposure to enterprise-level product development — from strategy and UX architecture to system design and delivery. I developed a deeper understanding of how complex digital products are built, scaled, and optimized for performance and impact.
Today, I operate with a strong balance of strategic thinking, systems design, and execution excellence — contributing to products that serve large user bases while aligning with business objectives.
