Research, writing and tools

The smallest things keep revealing the structure underneath.

I am a social science researcher based in Bengaluru. I study how care, responsibility and value are organised, especially the work that remains unmeasured or unseen.

I build public-facing research, tools and stories at the intersection of social design, AI and unpaid care.
