Hello!
I’m an interaction designer with a penchant for UX design, research, technology, design thinking and digital tools. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to bring them together and drive a vision forward.
I currently work at the Milan office of Design Group Italia, an international design consultancy. I have worked with multidisciplinary teams of service designers, industrial designers and interior designers in projects for manufacturing, Industry 4.0, education and even social change.
In my 2+ years at DGI, I have worked for Fortune 500 businesses, startups and non-profits including:
Before moving to Italy to earn my Master in Interaction Design at Domus Academy, I worked at Salesforce.com for 3 years on customising the CRM platform for both B2B and B2C clients in their Bangalore, India office.
My Areas of expertise
Product & User Research
I believe that every product begins with a story. Research helps us, the entire team, understand these stories about different people’s lives, the business’s strategies and competitive market products. These stories reveal problems and gaps which in-turn become the key product & business opportunities. At this stage, I prefer including workshops with the clients, interviews with the customers and desk research for deep-diving.
UX Strategy
Once I understand the different stakeholders and their problems, I love the process of identifying what product solution will truly solve these problems and figuring out the phases of the product features. During these moments, I collaborate with different team members like the product owners, architects, developers & marketing teams to finalise and create a road-map for the product journey.
Experience Design
My strength lies in looking at the experience as a whole. I enjoy looking at it as an eco-system because great experiences extend beyond the screen. I am experienced in creating structure and behaviour of interactive systems and how they can be designed and optimised for the different stakeholder’s and their needs. I use different tools from my toolbox like sketching, wire-framing, user flows, user stories and rapid prototyping to communicate and deliver solutions that can be either products or services.
