THE NO FRILLS VERSION

I'm Malavika, a product designer interested in complex systems and the stories hidden inside them.

A lot of my work has been about making sense of things that aren’t immediately easy to understand, from healthcare systems and institutional processes to messy information and the people navigating them.

I'm currently at LA County's Department of Public Health, working on design, research, and strategy. Previously, I've designed enterprise tools at WongDoody, and a symptom tracker for UPMC at CMU. I've also designed consumer websites, branding materials, and other cool stuff at Lucid Design.

THE NO FRILLS VERSION

I'm multicultural, born and raised in Bangalore, a city known for its startup culture, filter coffee, and traffic. Besides the occasional identity crisis, I can speak five different languages. I also love to learn more about these cultures through food!

When I was five, my brother brought home a dubious “9999-in-1” game console. Somewhere in that absurd collection was Super Mario Bros. I loved its visuals so much that I became very picky about the graphics of every game I played afterward. I didn’t have the vocabulary for it then, but this was perhaps my first realization of how strongly design can shape our experience.

My inspiration is and always has been people. At 6, I wanted to be a journalist. At 9, a lifestyle and food writer. For a brief window between 11-13, a doctor. I even wanted to be a teacher. I believe that stories and information can have a pivotal impact to human lives.
