Oakland, CA

Hello!

I'm an engineer and designer from Bombay working remotely with teams from around the world. I help define, develop, and implement creative solutions for multi-disciplinary problems. Currently, I’m helping democratize manufacturing at Fictiv.

What I do:

Needfinding

All great products satisfy an underlying human need. However, needs are difficult to identify. Isolated facts and consumer self reporting rarely leads to innovation. I help teams develop deep empathy for their users by helping ask the right questions.

  • Contextual observation and inquiry
  • Qualitative studies
Innovation Strategy

I help you define your product vision for new and existing products.  I will help explore new areas of opportunity and gain deeper insights from both data and qualitative research.

  • Goals, metrics and success measures
  • Problem definition and reframing
  • Inventory and analysis of the existing product
  • Feature identification and prioritization
Program Management

I help you get things done.

  • Determine the critical path and execute towards completion
  • Agile project management
  • Quantified risk mitigation
Design Thinking Facilitation

Leveraging my experience as an Adjunct Lecturer at the d.school at Stanford University, I will help your team when it needs a creative boost.

  • Co-creation workshops
  • Brainstorm facilitation
