I'm currently a Senior Product Designer at First Republic Bank.
Prior to this, I've designed several consumer and B2B experiences, both at scale and new-to-market.
In 2022, I received a Masters in Integrated Product Development at Carnegie Mellon University. I also hold a BFA in Design from School of Visual Arts, New York.
What my colleagues say
"I admire Kanika's natural ability to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of something.
She has a natural confidence in her teammates that, in the end, doesn't just add up individual capabilities, but multiplies it."
- Sindhu Shivaprasad, teammate @Pause (Obvious)
"I was very impressed by how experienced and knowledgeable she was. She had a lot of insights on developing and launching software products helped make the launch a big success."
- Chandra Ramanujan, teammate @Pause (Obvious)
"I have not met a lot like Kanika, as she seems to possess a natural ability to empathise with people. She is a strong willed, bold and a practical designer."
- Adithya Jayan, teammate @Microsoft
"She's organised, driven, and a great communicator. Any company would be lucky to have her."
- Noelle Newbold, manager @R/GA
