Hi, I'm Dikssha

Growing up, I always ran on two tracks – creative and technical. I would spend hours defining the best information architecture for my Tumblr blog and many more hours coloring in my chemistry diagrams. I memorized Zero-to-One and also took life drawing classes.

Years later, I would find a mantra at the Savanah College of Art and Design that became the cornerstone of my career: Design is everything. Everything is design.

Since then, I have grown from a novice designer to an all-round product person. I led an award-winning team at Intuit for four years and then joined the MBA+MS Design Innovation (MMM, ‘triple em’) program at Kellogg Northwestern to become a strategic thinker and business leader. I spent the summer at Adobe, as a PM intern defining new payment strategies and optimizing the conversion funnel. Most recently, I worked with McDonald’s in a business innovation project to reduce the perception of wait time in retail experiences.

Currently, I am looking for product management, product design, or hybrid product roles on design-minded teams with lofty business goals.

Outside of work I drink coffee, look at art, and cook elaborate meals. Not always in that order and sometimes I do all three at once. I also play golf and write in my blog.
