About.

Industrial designer — from building toy swords from plywood in Wayanad to leading end-to-end felt-panel acoustic products at Efekt, UAE. I believe objects carry emotional meaning beyond function.

Industrial designer working end to end — from sketch to manufacturing-ready output. Currently leading bespoke felt-panel acoustic and interior products at Efekt (Dubai/Sharjah), with prior work across ergonomic consumer products, furniture and modular structures, and packaging.

Strong in CMF, DFM, rapid prototyping, and supplier and production handoff. Product Design graduate, Karnavati University (2021–2025); rooted in Wayanad, Kerala. Exploring establishing an independent studio in the UAE.
