From a Small Village to Berlin—My Journey into Design

I grew up in a small village in India, where things were simple—and resources were few. We didn’t have fancy gadgets or design tools, but we had stories, colors, and imagination. As a child, I was always curious about how things worked. I’d ask endless questions, take things apart, try to fix them (sometimes badly!), and spend hours sketching or painting just for the joy of it.

When I moved to the city to study engineering, I thought I was choosing a practical path. But somewhere between algorithms and circuits, I found myself drawn more to why things were built than how. I cared deeply about how people interacted with technology—what frustrated them, what made them smile. That curiosity, combined with my love for art, slowly pulled me toward design.

​

It wasn’t a straight path. I learned through observation, by building, by making mistakes, and by staying endlessly curious. Over time, I found myself not just designing screens, but solving real human problems with clarity.

​

Today, I live in the beautiful city of Berlin. It’s a place that blends history and creativity, much like my own journey. I feel lucky to be part of a field where listening to people, thinking deeply, and crafting meaningful experiences is not just valued—but necessary.

I’m still that curious kid from a small village—just with better tools and a wider world to explore.
