I am a seasoned designer and design leader who is passionate about enabling organizations to build, grow, and nurture AI native design teams that are highly motivated and driven to design and ship game-changing products that delight the users. I achieve this by creating an environment for my team to experiment, innovate, fail, and learn without fear. I bring a unique perspective that is shaped by having worked in diverse industries across the globe coupled with a strong design education which has shaped me into a curious mix of designer, tinkerer, maker, artist and a geek. Started my carrier as an Architect and later diversified to UX design. So I have built products inside which people live to products people keep inside their pockets. This range of experience has allowed me to train myself in evaluating design solutions from macro to micro level. My design process is highly informed by user research methodologies that helps build empathy for users. I am an advocate of iterative design process and rapid prototyping. I am also a detail oriented person, so I like things that are well documented and neatly specified. Last but not the least, I love working closely with engineers, data-scientists and developers to solve any design problem that I am working on. Speaker: 1.
