Design for people, purpose, and progress
Project #1
HaloGo
(“Halo” as in something that surrounds your head, and “Go”as in to represent the ease of portability, like on-the-go)
“Fold safety into your everyday.”
Human-centered design lives in the small moments we usually overlook. HaloGo began with a simple observation: in everyday city life, safety is often compromised not because people don’t care, but because existing solutions don’t fit seamlessly into how we move. As a two-wheeler–dominated
urban environment with over 300 million+ registered two wheelers in India alone, helmets are essential - yet frequently avoided due to inconvenience, bulk, or poor usability. HaloGo reimagines the helmet as a compact, foldable, and intuitive companion, integrating audio-based GPS navigation to reduce on-road distractions. Through this project, I explore how thoughtful design can turn safety
from an obligation into a habit - making protection feel natural, accessible, and effortless.
FIELDS THAT I HAVE WORKED ON
Founder
I’m an aspiring design student who believes that the most powerful ideas are often the quiet ones - objects that don’t demand attention, but earn it through usefulness. I’m interested in creating work that balances aesthetics with intention, and bold ideas with practical execution. My design process is driven by curiosity, observation, and empathy - looking closely at everyday friction points and asking how design can make life smoother, safer, and more meaningful. Whether through product, fashion or systems thinking, I aim to create solutions that sit naturally within people’s lives while subtly reshaping how they interact with the world.
