About Me

I am Samiksha, an experience designer who forayed into tech products and services some 8 years ago, and found my passion understanding and creating digital platforms to meet the requirements of consumers in an array of domains from e-commerce, financial management, industrial waste management to most recently aviations. I have had a chance to interact and involve myself to diverse nature of users, their varied perspectives on desired solutions and considerations of the sufficing need to meet business growth, often providing exposure to challenges for delivering user-accepted worthwhile products. This has given me a chance to expand my skills and perseveration as a product designer to design empathy-driven solutions that really contributes to experiences that matters.

Diving back in time, I was a biotechnologist who switched to UX and Product design in 2015 for my passion for problem solving in a more technologically complacent environment of growth and personal fulfillment. Deep rooted skills of scientific research i.e, observation, formulation, inference and effect, are what I have reinstated from my career in R & D to product designing which syncs with 'research, define, ideate and solve' as fundamentals of any design process, which, I firmly believe is the core of creating a successful product experience, and in turn, drive businesses.

Apart from designing, I do love traveling and enjoying good food, and look forward to tick off new places on the map towards fulfilling my wanderlust.
