I've spent 25+ years in design — the last several building and leading teams, most recently as Oracle NetSuite's founding UX hire in India, where I grew the practice from zero and later did it again in Manila and Singapore. Along the way I've led design orgs as large as 40+ people (Fidelity), 35+ (Aptara), and 20+ (Oracle), and spent the last couple of years deep in where AI and UX actually meet in enterprise products — not the theory, the actual shipped work. I already do a version of this for free — guest lectures at BITS Pilani, Woxen University, Chitkara, and design conferences like Ignite — and I keep hearing the same thing afterward: "can we talk more about this?" This is that "more." I can help if you're: - Early-to-mid career and trying to figure out what actually gets you promoted into a lead or management role - Building or fixing a portfolio and want a senior, honest read — not just "looks good" - Trying to understand how AI is actually changing UX work day-to-day, not just the hype - Prepping for a design leadership interview and want someone who's sat on the other side of that table - Making the jump from IC to manager and don't know what nobody tells you about that transition I'll be direct with you — that's the only kind of feedback that's actually useful — but always with the goal of getting you somewhere real.
