My fascination with the behavioral sciences sparked in the most unexpected of places—a third-grade classroom in India. As a mentor with Saturday Art Class, a nonprofit organization, I witnessed art's magical alchemy working its spell on children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them develop self-confidence and creative expression. Watching David Kelley's creative confidence unfold in real time left me in absolute awe.
That little classroom, where joy and empowerment intertwined seamlessly, has become the compass guiding my quest to leverage the ingenuity of design and behavioral neuroscience to craft the perfect blend of experiences. I'm not just curious; I'm on a voracious quest, devouring every book, paper, or podcast in my path to improve my craft.
