The interface is a historical accommodation
We are moving beyond the screen. I design the governance for what comes next.
As computation becomes perceptive, the traditional UI is dissolving. My focus is Ambient Cognitive Design (ACD)—a framework for managing how AI-mediated systems interact with us without being asked.
I bridge the gap between technical hardware limitations and the preservation of human agency.
18 Years of Practice
From pixels to spatial systems.
Key Milestones:
HCI Evangelism: Author of the "Ambient Cognitive Design" whitepaper.
Spatial Leadership: Designing immersive ecosystems for JioCinema, JioTV, and JioGames.
Certified Expertise: CUA from Human Factors International (HFI).
I have spent nearly two decades simplifying complex challenges.
Currently, as a Lead Designer at Jio XR, I lead the spatial design for Jio Platforms.
My experience spans from traditional digital filmmaking to architecting scalable design systems for XR.
Today, I focus on Ambient Cognitive Design, ensuring human agency remains intact as technology fades into the background.
