The real ‘About me’
10 Weirdly Okay Truths About Me from 2025 –
- I love people-watching at airports. It’s my favorite place to observe how people interact with technology (don’t worry, I’m not creepy about it).
- I talk to my toddler niece and nephews about the roadblocks in my process. Their gibberish actually helps me think through research challenges.
- Bad UX stands out to me everywhere, in both digital and physical products—from confusing hotel menu apps to frustrating lotion bottle caps. I can’t unsee it.
- Drawing Mandalas helps me think. My notebook has more geometric patterns during solo brainstorming sessions, but it’s how I solve problems.
- I once conducted guerrilla user testing on my mom for a jewelry brand while she was cooking lunch for us. I gained some fantastic insights from a buyer’s perspective, but I also discovered the true meaning of multitasking—mainly how well she could juggle cooking, answering my questions, and throwing in a few harsh words when I overwhelmed her with one too many follow-up questions. Lesson learned: Never test a user who’s also your mom… especially when she in the kitchen.
- I keep too many tabs open—but I see it as curiosity, not chaos (mostly).
- Masala chai keeps me sharp during long user interviews.
- I make quick decisions in life but take my time with research. Real people rely on the work I do, and I want to get it right.
- Small details matter—a pause, a smile, a confused look. They reveal what’s working and what’s not.
- I believe in honest, no-fluff feedback to improve products and make them truly useful.
