From Trying Everything to Designing What Matters
From Trying Everything to Designing What Matters
“My greatest lesson didn’t come from a textbook, but from the ambitious challenge of building an EdTech platform as a student. It was my first real masterclass in how intense execution and collaboration truly are.
Before fully transitioning to UX, I started my career as an event co-ordinator and worked through diverse roles. I had been a business strategist and digital marketer writing content, building brand strategies and stories, shaping social media creatives, editing videos, cold calls, sales and uffff a few more!
It took this all to realise the designer in me who could think through screens, people, problems and purpose.
I’m jagadeesh kailasam, craft experiences that simply make sense.”
