Hello, I'm Tithi.

I am a user experience designer pursuing ways to make technology more contextual, interactive and meaningful. Currently, I am working as a Product Designer at Caption Health where my main focus is to understand how I can create the most intuitive AI guided ultrasound software to enable novice clinicians.
My journey began with an undergraduate degree in industrial design from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. After graduation, I worked as a UX designer at Harvard Business School Publishing and Deloitte Digital. After gaining a few years of experience in the field, I decided to go back to school and graduated from the Masters program in Design for interactions at Carnegie Mellon University.
I am greatly moved by social problems and I aspire to work and create impactful solutions that can make a difference. I am an active member of Robin Hood Army, a collective of like-minded volunteers with a single agenda-no child on the planet should go hungry. I have made serious efforts to design for social impact through my work and am passionate to create experiences that can touch many lives.
Outside the design sphere, I’m an adrenaline junkie whose alternate career would have been a professional adventure sports seeker. I love making friends, exploring new places, its culture and its food. I am also a big Harry Potter fan, but then who isn’t!
