Experience

 

2021: Associate Design Researcher, Quicksand Design Studio, Bangalore, India.

In my capacity as an Associate at Quicksand Design Studio, I am working on multiple projects across portfolios of social design, organizational restructuring, and systems design in the roles of service designer and user researcher.

2020: The Design of Dissent Masters’ Thesis Project

In this Distinction-winning project, I explored themes of citizenship, belonging, and decolonizing narratives around Dissent by combining public pedagogy and speculative design to create a co-curated and co-created space co-designed by over a dozen participants.

2020: Student Service Design Challenge, IBM + Philips Design

As European finalists, we used qualitative & quantitative tools along with citizen science to gather research data & deliver service design solutions to bridge the sex-specific gap in heart health data that results in more female deaths every year.

As part of this award-winning team, I designed artifacts for speculative environmental futures. The product was presented to Google Labs and Nord Projects, London, and used UI/UX design and observational ethnography.
