MES / Tablets / Solvei8︎︎︎ (Zilingo Factory) / 2020 - 2021
Enabling super fast audits for apparels on super slow tablets
Brand auditors at factories in South-east Asia use 7-inch Android tablets to log apparel manufacturing defects. These tablets were usually old, slow and a pain to use. Redesigned the auditing app with a consistent input area for one hand use. Auditors worked faster since they were no longer bogged down by a huge glitchy on-screen keyboard.

ABOUT
I have over a decade of experience designing for India and South East Asia. I have helped multiple startups get their products to market, scaled and managed design teams before co-founding my eco-startup.
I have the most fun working on complex zero to one → one to ten design and product problems. I am passionate about continuous learning and growth, and I enjoy collaborating with people from different teams and countries.
On weekends, you’ll find me perfecting my morning coffee, reading, doing interior design challenges or taking long walks.
