“When you understand people and what they need, you can design experiences that feel like they were always meant to be.”Julie Zhuo
A Recap of My Journey
How It Began
It started in code — but curiosity led me to design.

I was a developer with a Master’s in Computer Applications, solving technical challenges. But what truly caught my attention wasn’t the backend — it was the user’s hesitation, the extra click, the silent friction.

" That space between how something works and how it feels? That’s what pulled me into design — and it still drives me today. "
From Mumbai to Chicago
Originally from Mumbai, now designing from Chicago.

From Mumbai to Chicago, I’ve always designed for healthcare.

At a startup, I wore every hat — from UX to development to deployment. Now, I work with a service-based company shaping clinical tools that simplify scheduling, treatment planning, and reporting.

It’s not just about building features — it’s about making sense of the system for those who use it daily. I design for busy minds, limited time, and critical outcomes — with clarity and ease at the center of it all.

" Because when time is short and the stakes are high, the interface should never get in the way.. "
What Grounds Me
Painting. Food. Yoga.

Painting helps me untangle ideas visually.

Trying new cuisines teaches me rhythm, sequence, and flow.

Yoga? It reminds me that the most intense asanas need presence, not shortcuts — just like design.

" Stillness on a yoga mat. Color on a blank canvas. A surprising spice in a familiar dish — that’s where new ideas begin to form. "

Don't be a stranger
