With a Master's in Communication Design from Parsons School of Design, NYC, I don't design for the sake of design. Every decision is backed by research, data, and business outcomes, from Figma design systems to WCAG-accessible interfaces. Strategy first, pixels second.

I had the pleasure of teaching Kinjal this past year in my graduate Typography and Interaction class, at Parsons. Kinjal was a really great student—in a word, fastidious—with her engagement and work, and a pleasure to be around in the classroom. I always appreciated her insightful questions, attitude, and attention to detail—which also benefited those around her. And she came into her own in taste and technically, over the year. These qualities would benefit any workplace, and I heartily recommend Kinjal.

I had Kinjal as a student for Typography and Interaction at Parsons, which was a masters level class focusing on introducing students to contemporary interaction design through the lens of code.

Her final project, focusing on customs throughout the world, was great in showcasing her programming and design capability.
