Devishi Kapoor Product Designer
Personal Profile
I am a creative product designer with a lateral approach to problem solving. A natural observer, I enjoy in depth research of subjects and users before diving into ideation and development. I am passionate about translating emerging trends into products of the future. With a keen eye for detail, and the patience to try over and over, my designs aim to solve problems while instilling lifestyle changes and values. As an environmental enthusiast aiming to be a responsible designer, I want to work to find solutions that can not only reduce waste but also help people willingly join the fight against climate change.
