I grew up in Nepal, surrounded by the Himalayas was  part of my daily life. One mountain stood out to me more than any other — Machapuchure aka "Fish Tail Mountain". As a curious child, I would often sit quietly and observe its shape based on its folk lore and its ever changing terrain through the seasons, watching how snow settled in different places and how light revealed new details each day. It made me wonder not only about its beauty, but about how it was shaped, what forces formed it, and what was happening beneath the surface.That early fascination with what lies underneath appearances slowly became a way of seeing the world.

That same curiosity led me to puruse a degree in Psychology and begin a path in understanding human behaviour. I went on to work within the NHS, delivering talking therapy, and supporting children with special needs. Being close to people at vulnerable moments showed me how these new technology systems, tools, and environments can help shape accessibility to care. I now bring those threads as a product designer.

I occasionally return to that spot as an adult, reminding myself that the most meaningful experiences often stem from simplicity and clarity.
