Sindhu Shivaprasad — Head of Design
I'm a tech industry generalist and polymath, often called a Swiss Army Knife by people I've worked with. I started out as a journalist, but I fell into the startup world early in my career and have been pinballing between marketing, content design, and design ops ever since. From scrappy startups to big tech players, I've been the person CXOs rely on to figure out how to make creative teams produce high-quality, high-impact work. Over the years, I've decoded the DNA of high-performance design teams and translated often intangible elements into replicable ways of working. I've helped ambitious CXOs and founders build more cohesive teams, own their narratives, and secure product and content design seats at the business table. At the core of my intentionally generalist path is a love for good storytelling. Product design, content design, operations, and culture-building all have one thing in common: they're about telling the right story, to the right people, at the right time. I thrive in roles that offer creative freedom and a broad scope of work. Creative flexibility and impactful work are my primary motivators. I hold an MA in Journalism from the University of Sheffield, the UK's top journalism school, and a BA in Journalism, English Literature, and Psychology from Christ University. Outside of work hours, I read fiction, write and research for leisure, train for 5Ks, and indulge in crafts like linocut, sketching, and pottery.
