Co-founder, Chief Designer, Aubergine. Helping founders drive measurable impact through product experiences.

✦ Simplicity comes with the mastery of complexity. I partner with founders to translate their ideas to impact. ✦

Driven by a passion for multiplying impact, I moved from the U.S. to India to start Aubergine—an ecosystem dedicated to crafting intuitive, inviting, and innovative products. Since then, we’ve built 300+ products that shape industries.

With 18 years of experience in digital product design, I specialise in the intersection of business strategy, user psychology, and technology. I believe in structured processes that ensure quality while adapting that process to achieve impactful results.

If you're building something that will redefine the way the world works and need design partners who understand business, behaviour and complex systems, let’s connect and exchange ideas.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
