ABOUT SONAL
I aim to bring levity, joy, and a touch of humor to everything I do. Having worked with a lot of smaller teams and projects in their earlier stages, I thrive on navigating ambiguity and helping focus big ideas. I hold a degree in Communication Design and a minor in Photography from Carnegie Mellon University.
