Namaste, (Hello)
I am a Strategic Designer and an Innovation Consultant, passionate to work collaboratively with global organizations by applying qualitative design research tools and methodologies for co-creating engaging experiences, products, and services.
As an experienced design researcher, I love crafting insights that guide the design process and challenges our basic assumptions about a project. I have co-created with clients from industries like fashion, travel, transportation, healthcare, and fitness. Also, I always strive to extend my knowledge with socially focused organizations to achieve their desired goals and create socially equitable value.
My design career began as an Interior Architect from Center for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT) University, India. After a year of professional experience as an Interior Designer, I attended Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) University, where I was awarded the SCAD Honors Scholarship. I graduated with dual Master of Arts in Industrial Design and Design Management. I am an active member of the Design Research Club at SCAD. In collaboration with SCAD, I have worked with companies such as Fossil Group and Snap-on Tools in a leadership role to create products and facilitate the design process.
I have experience in design research, design thinking, strategic design, trend research, futures thinking and scenarios, design for sustainability, concept generation, concept development, workshop facilitation, storytelling, and intangible prototyping.
