Journey
All that's happened so far
Things I've done at work
I dabbled in graphic and web design, before moving to interface design for up-and-coming digital products
A year later, I helped start a design-ops introspection with my team at TIFIN
I set up workflows / processes for file organisation
And then, I set up an org-wide design system
And I wrote documentation for that 👆
I oversaw the system’s compliance on the design front
And reviewed the information design across a flagship product
I helped SundayGrids explain what they do
I helped create a data installation at Noora Health
About a year later, I created a proof-of-concept for the UIDAI’s m-Aadhaar app redesign. (Ask me about this one 👀)
Things I did at grad school
Went back to the basics of visual grammar. And then added data grammar to that learning
Met my data-vis heroes
Managed a placement drive
Created a timeline-turned-teaching-tool on cybernetics and design
Exhibited my work at the Science Gallery in Bengaluru
Things I've learned
How UI directly influences the trust in a product
How to build buy-in for design systems. And how it might fail
Why documentation is a must for rich async work
How teams deal with the challenge (or absence) of user data and research
Show what you say, say what you show
Plain language is unbeatable
Details, only on demand, please
Pick the problems you know best. Or speak to the ones who do
