Professional Identity & Vision
Professional Identity
I believe that the ultimate design is the one that never needs to be changed.
Simplicity is a factor I strive to incorporate into my design at all times. My design style resonates with two quotes: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” – Leonardo Da Vinci and “Necessity is the mother of invention” – Plato.
Growing up, my creative and innovative mindset was quickly noticed by teachers and family. I would eagerly complete advanced Lego sets and then build my own contraptions from them. Whenever asked what I wanted to be, I always said, “an inventor.”
In high school, I found my passion in Design & Technology. I was fascinated by the power to create entirely new concepts that could impact the world. Even then, I considered broader aspects like environmental and social impact, stakeholders, and business considerations—striving to improve not just the design, but the whole process.
A piece of advice from my father still resonates with me: design something so well that it never needs to be redesigned. That mindset—designing to last—has become a key part of who I am as a designer. Simplicity and benefit are equally important to me. I believe that true efficiency comes from simplicity. One of my favorite quotes, by Da Vinci, sums this up: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
I’ve always been driven to design for the benefit of others. When choosing my bachelor’s, I struggled between biomedical engineering and industrial design. While both aim to improve lives, ID’s hands-on approach ultimately suited me better. This decision allowed me to grow not only as a designer but also as a professional, learning through expertise areas and applying designerly skills.
Healthcare and design remain my strongest interests. Although my broad interest could become a challenge in the future, I see myself refining this focus over time. Medical device design, in particular, has become a clear passion. To deepen this, I will continue my development through the Medisign track of the Integrated Product Design master’s at Delft.
Vision
Today, efficiency, branding, and popularity dominate product design. With trends shifting rapidly through platforms like TikTok, my vision is to create designs that go beyond temporary appeal—products that are timeless, functional, and lasting. I believe designers have a responsibility to reduce environmental strain by avoiding constant redesign.
What sets me apart is that I don’t just design to recycle—I design to endure. I envision a future where we focus more on truly innovative solutions rather than refining existing ones. A designer’s role, to me, is to offer simple yet impactful answers that improve quality of life, while considering environmental and social factors.
My core vision is to merge design with the biomedical field to create accessible healthcare solutions. Growing up in Mumbai exposed me to healthcare disparities, and witnessing my parents rely on medical devices showed me how meaningful good design can be. These experiences have deeply shaped my motivation to make healthcare more inclusive and sustainable.
Unfortunately, today’s medical design industry often prioritizes profit over people. I want to shift that reality—to design responsibly, avoid disposable solutions, and truly serve communities. This vision guides all my work. In my final bachelor project, for example, every decision was framed around the question: “How can this ease the burden on healthcare systems and support prevention?” By 2030, I aim to lead initiatives proving that design can make healthcare more humane and universally accessible.
