Hello! I am a tech-savvy, experience design professional with deep consumer insights, helping businesses and organizations in creating new value, new forms of competitive advantage and building integrated experiences from the ground up to reality. 

 

Adept in "Design Thinking" towards solving complex problems and with my experience of working across diversified consumer centric problems, I bring in a unique perspective in the process of strategizing and developing human-centric design solutions.

In short, I enjoy building solutions that can create a positive impact on human life.


Practice Lead, Digital Design - Boston Consulting Group (Jan 2020 - May 2021)

At BCG Global Design Studios, I worked at the intersection of people management, thought leadership and design operations. Directing the newly conceived discipline of Digital Practice, I built and lead a team of multidisciplinary workforce around UXD, UID, and Engineering while ensuring KPI’s are met and setting up team members for overall success. In the process, by working in close proximity with the team and bringing in best practices of “domain knowledge” and methodology around “design processes”, I cultivated an environment for “good design” to flourish.

Alongside, while collaborating with various clients and stakeholders to execute strategies and design concepts that are feasible to achieve in line with business goals, I directed a large inter-disciplinary team of around 14 people, towards building compelling human centric design solutions that scale across Web, Mobile, Dashboards, and New Technology (AR, VR, MR) to solve complex problems around various use cases within large organisations and industries such as Fintech, Banking, Healthcare, Automotive, Public sector, Retail, Consumer, Shipping, and Industrial Goods.

In pursuit of creating holistic user experiences that can scale in large, I happen to nurture and grow multidisciplinary teams and seamlessly managed the transformation of conceived design solutions into reality.
