I was born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh - a busy, loud city full of culture, rich architecture and arts. At the age of 16, I moved to a small hill station in the Himalayas in India for boarding school. It gave me a unique perspective of the world - I learned everyone has a story to tell, and it’s important to be open to different cultures and fresh ideas.

I found a love for sociology and anthropology my sophomore year of college in Northfield, Minnesota. I became fascinated with the way people think, feel and behave - and what products could be created to help them. After college, I went on to graduate from DePaul University with an M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction where I explored my love for psychology and design. I am eager to solve any design problems that come my way and believe that with enough research and determination, any problem can be solved.

In my free time, I enjoy doing graphic design and cuddling with my dog, Doreo. I love being active, going on hikes, cycling and listening to good tunes. And of course, I never go without Doreo by my side.
