Designing Better Dashboards
A public webinar on making dashboards that are aesthetically pleasing as well as clear.
Open to design leadership roles
I lead design teams and the products they ship.
I'm an Associate Principal of Design at NeenOpal, where I lead teams across design, UI, and content. I decide how teams are organized, make key product decisions, and work within cross-functional teams. I build systems that keep the team running on its own, so I can stay hands-on in the work.

About
I've spent most of my design career turning complex subject matter into simple, aesthetic designs and interfaces. My work spans data analytics, communication design, and technical products.
I started by solving those problems through visual design. Over time, that grew into designing products, shaping how teams work, and eventually setting teams up to solve those problems themselves.

How I lead
Build the system, teach it, then step back.
Across my work, I've found that good leadership isn't about being involved in every decision. It's about giving people the context, tools, and confidence to make those decisions themselves.
Teach the why, trust the how.
I want my team to understand the thinking behind decisions, so they can make good ones on their own.
Give ownership, make room to grow.
I believe good work happens when people feel trusted to make decisions, take ownership, and learn from each other.
Value thinking, not just experience.
I value how people approach problems and work through unfamiliar challenges just as much as what they already know.
Stay curious, be willing to change.
I try not to get too attached to my first idea. If the evidence points in a different direction, I'm willing to rethink the approach.
In their words

Huned GandhiManaging Director, Dachser India (mentor) With Pinky, I always felt safe. She had our back, so nothing weighed on us. I've seen what most managers are like, and Pinky is very different. Whichever team gets her will be really lucky.
