A note about me
I grew up in Nepal.
Built in India. Felt in the UK.
Now I'm back.
A mechanical engineer by training and a product designer by practice. This is a short tour of how I got here, and how I work.
The route so far
Six stops,

Four things I bring to a problem
01
Foundation · Mech
I think in systems
The whole machine — where it flexes, where it fails.
02
Intent · UX
I design for humans
Who holds it, before what it looks like.
03
Craft · Build
I build real things
Devices, mechanisms, screens. Made, not just drawn.
04
Fluency · Ops
I work across cultures
Three countries taught me translation is half the job.
A note on the rest
I have sat on both sides of the table — the screen and the shop floor, the design and the invoice.
"How do I want this person to feel?" is the first question I trust.
If that sounds like your table, pull up a chair.
