Work Experience
I have worked across B2B, AdTech, Fintech, and gaming industries. My work has been featured on platforms like IBM Quantum Jam, Games for Change, NYCxDesign, Dezeen, Wanderville Arcade, and XR Guild. I participate in hackathons to stay inspired and gain hands-on experience.
I bridge the gap between design and development
Working at an AdTech startup ignited my passion for design, leading me to pursue an MFA in Design Technology from the Parsons School of Design in New York. There, I learned the power of narrative in design and embraced a design thinking approach.

Hey, I'm Simran
Working at an AdTech startup ignited my passion for design. This journey led me to pursue an MFA in Design Technology at Parsons School of Design in New York. There, I discovered each word's profound impact in shaping a compelling narrative. Parsons equipped me with the tools and exposure needed to embrace the design process—a shift that felt unconventional coming from my engineering background.
Since then, I’ve navigated the dynamic landscape of startups, immersing myself in the creation of websites, apps, games, and experiences. For me, design transcends mere pixels and code; it’s a medium for cultivating empathy and opening channels of interpersonal communication. I take pride in showcasing my work at exhibitions and hackathons, constantly refining my skills and staying attuned to emerging trends.
