I run a Usability Design Consultancy called BARDO from my home in Bangalore where I live with my partner and our two children.

Clients come to me for advice on usability design and user experience issues related to mobile and web based applications. I help them create effective, successful software solutions that are easy to use and pleasing. Over the last decade I have worked on a variety of projects—from startups to ERPs, client server to mobile and cloud applications—varying in scale, technology, domain, and users.

I started Bardo in 1998. Lead many projects as a usability design consultant with Celstream, Primefocus, Tutorvista, Amazon, Tejas Networks, Exilant, Netkraft, Sapient, and Icarus.

Before Bardo, I co-founded Icarus Design with my friend George Mathews . Worked as principal partner and product designer with Icarus for 5 years. Icarus is now one of India's leading branding/industrial design studios.

I studied product design at National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and Mechanical Engineering from College of Engineering, Trivandrum.
