Hello, my name is Devyani, and I am a design researcher with a strong focus on participatory design methods. I started my career in design and later transitioned to user research, where I specialize in developing and implementing unique qualitative research methods and co-creative practices aimed at strategy, product, and service design solutions. I am a firm believer in experimentation and enjoy working closely with my team to fine-tune our approaches to designing research methods.My experience spans various user experience studies in healthcare, product design, consumer electronics, and other industries. Throughout my career, I have designed research strategies and led projects with a focus on translating all stakeholders' needs into compelling recommendations and strategies.Originally from New Delhi, India, I moved to the Bay Area in 2019, and during the pandemic, I wrote a book titled "Design Thinking: Beyond The Sticky Notes," which was published by Sage Publications.Currently, I am actively seeking opportunities in design research and user research. I currently hold Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and do not require sponsorship.
