hi, I am Yase

Ziro,

Dear reader,

I am an interaction designer from Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, with more than five years of designing software.

Four of those years were at Rocketlane, which I joined as the 11th person, before the product launched. By the time I left, my employee ID was #6. Then I studied interaction design at CIID, where my thesis, Heritage Remix, was nominated for the UX Design Awards 2026.

Now I take on freelance product work, build Lega with two others, and explore how food from Ziro and nearby places could be valued more fairly.

Learn more about me, or see how we can work together.
