“Mobilities research… concerns not only physical movement, but also potential movement, blocked movement, immobilization, and forms of dwelling and place-making.”
— Mimi Sheller
Movement — of people, ideas, and information — has always been at the center of my work. I began as a transportation researcher and systems designer focused on accessibility, urban mobility, and the sociological forces that shape how people move through cities. That foundation in social theory, ethnography, and global mobility systems continues to guide me today, even as my work has expanded beyond physical transport into the far broader terrain of knowledge, data, and AI movement within enterprises.
I am now Head of Design at Conode.ai, where I lead the design strategy for our knowledge-graph-driven AI platform. My practice has evolved from studying how humans navigate cities to designing how humans — and AI agents — navigate complex information ecosystems. I build research frameworks, synthesize diverse user groups, design explainable AI agents, and translate intricate graph technologies into intuitive, accessible tools used across finance, HR, fraud, logistics, insurance, and transportation. At its core, the through-line of my work is unchanged: understanding systems deeply, designing with empathy, and creating pathways that unblock movement — whether for riders in a city or for enterprises drowning in siloed data.
Having lived and worked across India, Bhutan, Malaysia, Singapore, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, I bring a global, cross-cultural lens to every project. My approach blends systems thinking, design research, and narrative strategy to make advanced technology usable, trustworthy, and human-centered — enabling people to move, decide, and act with clarity in increasingly complex worlds.
