How I work
What Goes On
In My Head
Think · Ink · Repeat
Understanding systems, patterns, and the forces that shape decisions. Before acting, I sit with complexity until clarity emerges.
Expressing ideas through strategy, writing, or visuals. Giving form to thought, whether it's a financial model, a brand narrative, or a design.
Refining through iteration. The first version is never the last. Every cycle sharpens the thinking and deepens the work.
I'm still learning, and that's the most exciting part.
About
I grew up in India with an early curiosity for math and systems, the kind of thinking that finds patterns in everything and wants to understand why things work the way they do.
That curiosity led me to investment banking, where I developed a foundation in structured analysis, financial modeling, and rigorous decision-making. But alongside the spreadsheets, I was always drawn to creative expression: art, design, and the ways stories shape how people see the world.
At some point, I stopped seeing analysis and creativity as separate pursuits. They belong together, each one stronger because of the other.
Now studying in New York, pursuing two simultaneous master's degrees, I'm building at the intersection of data, strategy, and brand, learning to hold complexity in one hand and clarity in the other.
I think deeply, express boldly, and refine relentlessly.

What I'm Building
Toward
I'm drawn to the spaces where data meets intuition, where storytelling meets strategy, and where thoughtful analysis creates the foundation for something meaningful.
Whether it's consumer brands that genuinely connect with people, venture investing that backs founders with conviction, or building businesses that solve real problems, I want to create things that matter.
The intersection of analytics and creativity isn't just where I work. It's where I believe the most meaningful businesses are built.
Let's Untangle Ideas
Most good ideas begin messy, half-formed, tangled, and full of questions.
I enjoy those conversations the most.
If you're building something, exploring a new direction, or simply thinking through a problem, I'm always open to exchanging ideas.
Let's untangle them together.
