They say that curiosity killed the cat, but I made a career out of it.

I was that kid that earnestly asked questions about anything and everything, and since childhood, I’ve been passionate about understanding how things work and what makes people tick. And not only that, I’ve always been fascinated about how to make things better. 

This led to my decade of work in analytical roles in fields from consumer insights to online advertising, which gave me a knack for understanding problems by deconstructing them to their most basic parts.  

But I felt there was more to understanding problems than what can be done through analysis alone, and that’s what led me to the MBA in Design Strategy program at CCA. While there, I learned to think about solving large-scale problems through the lens of human-centered design thinking.

Since then, I’ve gained a lot of experience with solving problems using the design-led innovation process, from design research to concept ideation to prototyping.

I’m at my best when I’m given an ambiguous problem or uncertain situation to figure out, and am given ample opportunities to demonstrate leadership.

It’s a pattern I’ve found throughout my career, and in its latest iteration, I worked at an innovation consultancy to help Fortune 1000 companies create human-centered digital solutions.

Ultimately, I believe that real change happens when you use both sides of your brain and know when and how to shift your perspective.
