Hello hello! I am Anushree,

I am a designer and an artist based in Chicago.

I bring three years of experience designing enterprise digital products and now, a growing body of strategy work across different domains like: construction tech, telecommunications, healthcare, and mining.

I am currently completing a dual master's at the Institute of Design and Stuart School of Business at IIT, deepening my practice at the intersection of design, technology, and human behaviour. I care about how design decisions land on people and support business, and growth.

Being an artist has made me a careful observer. I notice things — in environments and people ~

Building a design practice one context at a time

My design education and practise has taken me to different countries across continents: from India to the Netherlands, the US and Taiwan.

My strengths as a designer

Designers take on a lot of different hats as they move through design process. These are 3 strengths that I believe I bring to the table,

I analyze problems with different lenses

My favorite parts of design process and problem solving are examining and analyzing the problem from different lenses, using different frameworks to uncover insights and themes.

Visual thinking,
I sketch—a lot

I use sketching and diagramming as a thinking tool. This helps me work through the problem at hand and see connections that otherwise might remain hidden. It’s a tool I use to give form to the intangible: ideas, patterns, feelings.

Collaboration and Ideation

Team-work may not always be the easiest, but I remain consistent in my belief that some of my best ideas have occurred in collaboration.

I find working through problems in collaboration with people from different disciplines and point of view very thrilling.
