Starting of as a door 2 door salesman, for Oriflame, while quickly gaining business across district. The experience made me learn the importance of sales in thing in life, and is summarised very well by a friend. “ Life is a sales pitch and we are all salesman.” Another lesson was, one can piggy back on another brand and start placing your own product.

Banking :

Back in the days, when computer reached my hometown, I took up a contract for data entry for the bank. Back in the days when computer were very slow, I quickly realised the lack of speed was caused by the User Interface of the software we were using. Quickly employed a friend of mine, and I took upon my self to rewrite my self a user interface faster to data-input & operate, while making it flexible to try and tally old book to the general ledger. Learned, deeper concepts of accountancy, importance of data, user interface and that machine can’t match us ever.

How can I help?

a new product

Take an idea, through research and prototyping, to a market-ready concept. The process might take as short as a month, or as long as few years.

Typical activities and outcomes include: Digital brand, Art direction and concept creation, High fidelity prototyping across design software and browser-based.

a trusted partner

Many organisations lack senior strategic partners available for a fresh set of eyes or able to inject energy and momentum in flagging products and teams. I help redefine strategy, apply it to products and teams, and help steer the ship through implementation.

experience design

I have effectively scaled and led collocated and distributed teams – sometimes across four time zones. I can help with creative direction, galvanising a team behind a strategy, or ensuring a holistic approach to design across product tribes.
