Discovering my creative side
While doing my BBA at Symbiosis, I stumbled upon this unexpected knack for designing posters, sprucing up social media, and nailing presentation decks. Turns out, there's a creative side to me that I never knew existed!

I was not sure if BBA was my thing, so I dropped out. I started diving into photography and making YouTube videos. But, I had to get another degree, so now I enrolled for a B.A. in Statistics, thinking a stats career could be pretty rewarding.

Covid hit, and I started exploring stuff like data science and web development. Teamed up with a buddy from Symbiosis for his startup. Designed and built a website using my newfound web skills. Loved the design part so much that I finally decided to double down on it. Eventually, I landed my first UI design internship after that.

From College to a Full-Time Design Role
After diving into UI design through internships and freelance gigs, I started learning product design while still in college. Did a couple of product design internships for 1.5 years before scoring my first full-time job at Internshala before even finishing my studies.

Now a Product Designer at Internshala, I've been shaping various modules of the product for the past 1.5 years. The curiosity is still strong, but the confusion is long gone.
