About Me

Hi! I'm Neel, an upcoming user experience designer from New Jersey. Growing up in a house with 10 people, I shared a room with my older cousin throughout elementary school. When she was in high school in the 2000s, she was always making collages, moodboards, and scrapbooks. To this day, I can still remember how awesome I thought they looked, and it sparked a lifelong interest in art, music, and design. Now, I am proud to call myself a music producer, fashionista, and aspiring DJ!

Initially, I left my design interests separate from my professional goals and pursued a career in science research and medicine. While my time conducting scientific research provided me valuable skills that translated into planning and executing UX Research, the work was lonely and often lacked human interaction. I knew I wanted to work with people and around people, so I sought a career change. With UX Design, I could combine the research backbone I had as a professional with my personal passion for design.

As I re-enter the workforce, my experiences in a shared household will guide me to being a person who improve the culture and success of any team I am a part of. I hope to always help foster a community of inclusiveness and camaraderie for my peers.
