VANITHA SHANKAR


STRATEGIC DESIGN & GROWTH PARTNER

Executive Trainer (Innovation & Integrated Strategy, Conceptual Design)

I help clients envision and transform diverse strategies into desirable experiences.

Hi, I’m Vanitha.

I partner with organizations to design and drive strategies using the frameworks, tools, and mindsets of human-centric design.

My key focus areas are to enable design maturity for corporates, nurture design education, and empower innovation & startup ecosystems.

A seasoned professional, my career has taken fascinating turns from interaction & service design to leading client content strategy to growing/leading a participatory intellectual platform for the city where I grew up. Each leap taught me more about myself, design, technology, business & org growth.

A brief sabbatical led me to discover other skills outside of my professional zone, making me an art photographer, co-creator of a community arts confluence, a full marathoner, and a columnist.

In essence, I’m driven by passion, purpose, and progress.

Every career choice has enriched my journey, resulting in tangible creations, and taught me to bring my whole self to work. This website is home to my essence, expressions, and experiences.
