The session with Avanika was very helpful. I had been dm-ing current students from the program i want to pursue and asking them for feedback, but this session gave me much more nuanced insights. Avanika went line by line in my folio to give me feedback!

The session was very informative and productive. I look forward to more sessions as the insights were very useful for my SOP

I work at the intersection of human-centered design, strategy, and storytelling—helping both individuals and product teams level up their UX. I combine deep expertise in user research, interaction design, and GenAI-powered UX with a strategic mindset honed at McKinsey & Company, where I led end-to-end product and service design across industries like healthcare, mobility, robotics, and finance. Whether it's B2B SaaS or human-centered MedTech tools, I’ve helped teams solve complex design thinking challenges with clarity and impact.
Expertise in Figma, Vibecoding, GenAI tools, Miro, DoveTail, Adobe CC, & more.
With a Master’s in Interaction Design from TU Delft, executive education from Royal College of Art, and award-winning work in design innovation, I bring an interdisciplinary and empathetic approach to every collaboration.
👩🏽💻 If you're a designer, I’ll help you:
• Sharpen your portfolio and case studies for clarity and impact
• Present your process, research, and design decisions with confidence
• Get actionable feedback to help you land roles in competitive design teams or top design schools
🧩 If you’re a founder, PM, or design lead, I can:
• Audit your product or prototype for usability, UX flow and future-proofing
• Offer hands-on feedback with annotated suggestions
• Help you uncover design gaps, usability friction, or strategy blind spots
Whether you're preparing for your next big career step or refining a live product, I’ll bring my experience from McKinsey, TU Delft, and RCA to give you honest, strategic, and constructive feedback — no vague design fluff, just clear direction.
Let’s make your design sharper, smarter, more effective and future-proof.
