I was born in Dehradun, India in 1992. Right from a young age, I  was drawn towards the co-curricular side of schooling and always interested in learning about how things work, which were beyond the coursework. Actively representing my school in quizzes, art competitions and science exhibitions.

Being from a small town with limited exposure to career options I started my mechanical engineering studies after completing my schooling. But soon I got exposed design as a career option and I decided to drop out and pursue my passion for design. During the transition period, I established myself as a self-taught UI designer back in 2011 working on projects for his clients in Canada/US.

Later in 2012, I joined the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi to expand my understanding of design to a whole new domain. Going for NIFT (fashion school) instead of the regular design school was a thoughtful move since I wanted to be in the capital city. And work with established studios and clients and get a bachelor’s degree so that he can go abroad for further research later in my career.

The days in NIFT were unlike any other young college kid instead, I was actively working on major freelance projects. By the second year, I was handling two jobs along with college, design consultant at Inchwork design studio and UI designer at a startup, FormZero.
