Experience

Rhym — AI Productivity Tool, 2025 ( 5 weeks)

Central Saint Martins

  • Vibecoded and designed an AI companion to explore alternative models of productivity beyond time-based systems.

  • Conducted 3 rounds of user testing, identifying cognitive overload as a key barrier and redesigning the experience into a voice-led interface

  • Positioned the concept around “body intelligence” (Ayurveda, breathwork), reframing productivity as a physiological rather than purely cognitive problem

  • Currently iterating the product with 5 beta users

GrowBricks — Foresight Project, 2025 (10 weeks) 

LEGO X Central Saint Martins

  • Won the pitch to LEGO's product and foresight team with a speculative product concept connecting future play behaviours to LEGO's long-term material and values strategy.

  • Conducted qualitative research with 15+ parents and children to uncover unmet emotional needs in play; around resilience and creative confidence in children.

  • Translated findings into a plantable, regenerative brick concept with physical prototypes and storytelling. 

Agri-Energy Systems — Design Innovator, 2024 (10 months) 

DISQ - TATA consultancy services

  • Explored how renewable energy could enable farmer-led entrepreneurship in India’s agri-energy ecosystem.

  • Led ethnographic research with 300+ farmers across 3 rural regions in Maharashtra, mapping a complex system of policy, infrastructure, and local practices.

  • Mapped a broken ecosystem : uncovering not just where to intervene, but where not to build, and translated these insights into stakeholder workshops and venture directions across agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.
