Hi, I'm Aparna! I'm a Product designer & creative generalist based in New York City.
My practice is rooted in a belief that technology can be a force for good when we build and use it thoughtfully. I’m constantly experimenting, and expanding my creative toolkit as I work with startups at different stages, from shaping early ideas to building products in the real world.

To me, a well-designed product or experience is one that brings us closer to the people and world around us. I’m constantly evolving my design philosophy to put psychology, and ethical creative processes at the center of how I design.
