Although I started as an assistant to a senior designer in my first job after graduation, I eventually co-designed the UI for the Tennessee state government to manage and monitor provider programs- Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, travelling, watching movies, and being with my family. I am trained in Bharatnatyam, an Indian classical dance form, and am passionate about yoga and meditation.
