Phalguni Bhaumik — Design Manager
While studying and after graduating with a bachelor's degree majoring in Industrial-Product Design, I always kept looking for avenues where I could make 'more' impact. I had no idea what 'more' meant for me back then until, parallel to work, I got actively involved in a lot of Humanitarian and Social projects, trying to strike a chord between Design and studying Social Constructs. I have also always been of the opinion that there's more to it than what meets the eye and through each project that I've had the opportunity to work on, the belief has only been reinforced. Having worked with various start-ups in India across sectors of Innovation in Electronics, E-commerce, News, Education, Food-tech, and Finance, I have learnt that a lot of it is interdependent and studying the other domains also gives great insights into the one that one's working in. My experience revolves around creating Experiences, Products, Systems, and Strategy design. Problem solving, user research, ideation, wire-framing, prototyping and visual design, with in-depth study, are some of my strong points, all while experimenting with Emerging Technologies and exploring with hands-on materials. I have worked with both, acclaimed establishments and start-ups, while providing good insights from users' perspective in terms of their interaction and experience with products or services. Most of my projects have dealt with trying to challenge people's thoughts around the Socio-Cultural normative structures. I have also taught myself some new mediums of expression(new to me) and I only wish to learn and explore more. Installations, Kinetic sculptures, Virtual and Mixed Reality, Basic interactive electronics, and Filming 360 videos, are some Mediums that I have had the fortune to work with and I can only hope that this list expands in the future!
