The story
At Microsoft AI, I work at the intersection of craft and consequence — designing intelligent systems that impact over a billion lives. A decade spent scaling products across WongDoody, Temenos, and Byju's cemented a core conviction: great design isn't about pushing pixels on a screen, it's about transforming a person's lived reality.
I didn't choose design; it chose me. Somewhere between my first raw sketch and the hundredth shipped product, I realized this was never about making things look beautiful — it was about making people feel seen.
