I'm a designer with 3+ years across cultural institutions and nonprofit/mission-driven products, from The Museum of Modern Art to Wikimedia Foundation to early-stage fintech/social-impact apps.. I work across the full process, research, prototyping, usability testing, and design systems, with a focus on accessibility and AI-assisted workflows.

At MoMA, I redesigned mobile search for a 102,000+ artwork collection and built an interactive experience using AI-tools. At Pratt's Center for Digital Experiences, I led accessibility work for Wikimedia, where my audit led them to adopt keyboard testing as standard practice.

At MoMA, I redesigned mobile search for a 106,000+ artwork collection and built an interactive experience using aAI-generated transitions between real paintings. At Pratt's Center for Digital Experiences, I led accessibility work for Wikimedia, where my audit led them to adopt keyboard testing as standard practice.

My roots are in graphic design, a BFA followed by a Master's in Information Experience Design at Pratt, and I bring a Nepalese-born, well-traveled perspective to how I think about design and craft.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me behind the camera capturing moments that inspire me, singing along to my favorite tunes, or exploring new restaurants to satisfy my culinary curiosity. My tiny apartment is a sanctuary filled with thriving plants and ruled by my beloved cat, Haku.
