About

Automobile Engineer turned Product Designer & Researcher, now exploring the intersection of User Experience and Artificial Intelligence.

Currently, I am a Product Designer at the H&M Group. From testing cars at BMW in Germany & the USA to creating products at Steamery & H&M Group in Sweden, I have worked in five different countries in multiple industries. My experiences will bring a diverse global perspective to the table wherever I work.

Apart from UX & AI, I am intrigued about Behaviour Science and its impact on designing products and services for people. I consider this to be my secret superpower!

Outside of work, you will find me trying to figure out how to make a podcast, baking cookies & macarons, and making travel itineraries for the long list of places on my bucketlist!
