About

The Cross-Cultural
Product Navigator

I don't just design interfaces — I build products that handle real liquidity, real users, and real market volatility. My edge: a T-shaped skillset forged across finance, design, and crypto.

Started in finance. As early as 2018, I was advising clients on investment products — India funds, gold, Asian fixed income bonds. I understood markets before I touched a Figma file.

Entered crypto in 2019 as a student and never left. While the industry cycled through booms and busts, I kept building. Binance. Secured Finance. YieldNest. BloFin. Each one shipped. Each one live.

Now I work differently. I integrated AI-agentic workflows into my design process, doubling or tripling my output as a solo contributor. This isn't about replacement — it's about leverage.

Three continents shaped my perspective. Shanghai, Brazil, Singapore. I design for global users because I've been one.
