Pankaj Kumar
Researcher & Designer
Profile
I am an engineer turned designer with a profound inclination towards design and technology. In my 9 years of experience as a designer, I have worn various hats, including Design Thinking, UX Design, User Research, and Service Design. I am a human behaviour and poetry enthusiast, which helps me bring depth to my insights and designs.
I'm trying to find an avenue that will allow me to open a few doors and explore them.
