Vanakkam, 🙏 I am Santhosh sivan, a senior product designer currently building experiences at Kong Inc. in Bengaluru, India. From humble startups to software used by millions, I’ve had a blast designing things that people love. My design practice so far includes user research, product design, usability testing, design governance, and data visualisation. I also enjoy coding and building apps. For me, design is about truly understanding the humans behind the clicks, making product a joy to use, ensuring every tap feels effortless. I seek brave teams where, together, we can create lasting and meaningful impact on people's lives, the society, and the world we live in. I like expanding and adapting my skills, thoughts, and processes to the changing problems and needs in the world around us. In my free time, I'll most likely be found playing games, or out traveling and photographing random things. LinkedIn
