Who Am I? Well, that's an interesting question. I guess, I am still exploring myself. I guess I am still exploring myself. I was born and raised in Kapurthala, a royal city in the Punjab region of India. I fell in love with design when I was around 11 years old. The first software I learned was Corel Draw (if anyone remembers it now). I have always had a creative side to me, but I didn't quite know what I wanted to be when I grew up. After finishing high school, I enrolled in Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar for a degree in Bachelors Of Multimedia (B.M.M). My curriculum included various creative subjects like Sculpture, Photography, Stop Motion, Videography, Video Editing, 2D/3D Animation, etc. In my 2nd year of the degree, I was introduced to Graphic Design and Web Design and I instantly knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I was crazy about design (I still am). Creating something from scratch was a very satisfying experience for me. I started working as a freelance Graphic/Web Designer and later on, joined a local web design firm. I loved each and every bit of it. I am always intrigued by new things: a gadget, a CSS technique, web animation, etc. I explore and learn anything that's interesting to me. I think this habit of mine made my passion even more fun.
In July of 2010, I moved to beautiful, sunny Fremont, California with my family and started working as a freelance Web Designer. In 2012, I founded my own company called Dazzle5 Design Studio where I worked extensively in Graphic/Print Design, UI/UX design and Front End Development. I worked as a consultant for many early stage startups for UI/UX and Front-End Development.
I now work as a Lead Front-End Developer at an awesome startup called Pley in Santa Clara. We rent LEGOS and I get to see and play with amazing new toys every day.
So, this is me, living the life, doing what I love the most and making the world perfect, one pixel at a time :)
