5 months ago, I went on Linked-in asking for advice on what to study during my maternity leave. I must say… finding time has been a real challenge! Breastfeeding is definitely going on my résumé — because it requires discipline, dedication, and perseverance like nothing else. 💪👶 Now that my little one is starting to give me small pockets of time, I’m using them to turn my learning notes into mini podcast episodes. 🎙️ They’re still rough around the edges, but I’m learning a

When we Design - Build - release a new product, often the focus shifts to delivering features and growing it, especially during the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) phases. This is one of the things I have seen go wrong firsthand—one of our products was designed at MVP, but it didn’t get a chance to be revisited because shipping new requirements was always top priority. Though this is a common problem with new products, but more frequently it leads to usability problems, angry cu

This blog might feel more personal than professional, but I chose to post it here because in my quest for courage I read countless articles by working women on LinkedIn, which helped me calm my fears, and discover peace. It’s a reflection on my life as a career-driven woman, dealing with the problems, worries and stresses of moving abroad for work, finding my footing, and juggling the challenges of maintaining both my career and personal life.

As an UX designer, your role doesn't end when UI gets approved-it extends into ensuring a well-structured handoff to the developers that helps them build a scalable and maintainable design system. Design devs don't just take these design files and start coding; they start off by using the design specs to define CSS themes, create reusable UI components, and maintain consistency throughout the product. What this means, in return, is messy handovers with inconsistent styles, bl

Since our product went live , I have been doing continuous QA on the UI; now it's time for cleanup. I will be set on working closely with the development team to get the user experience/interface to pixel perfection. Every week, I hunt down new UI bugs and provide clear documentation on what's wrong and what's expected for fixes.   One thing I've taken more notice of than ever: the importance of consistent UI spacing. This really didn't get much attention from the beginning,

The toughest part of many projects is bringing the design to life. Many ideas fail not from a lack of creativity but from poor execution. Management of a design project, from the creation of an idea to its realization, involves a balance between strategic planning, collaboration among the team members, and iterative refinement. Here is what I have learnt from concept to delivery.   1. Lay the Proper Foundation   A good problem is at the core of any successful project. We need

My weekends have opened up completely now that my husband works weekends on the lakeland ferry. Since my weekdays are packed with WFH, the upside is that he’s home during the week to cook delicious English meals and take care of me—and our little growing embryo (dropping big news subtly!). Being the productivity lover I am, I spent the last few months creating an illustrated calendar featuring England’s seasonal produce beautifully blended with Indian spices to craft Anglo-In
