Vinay Chilukuri
Product design leader | Dir. of Design, Appsmith
"Upgrade the user and not the product" — I design with this intent to help people make progress towards their goals. I love solving complex systemic and behavioral problems and design solutions to create an impact for the business.
Designing the environment in which design happens is equally important as the design itself. I enjoy setting up processes to improve workflows, create rituals that promote collaboration and daydream about how design tools could evolve.
With ~5yr exp. in leading teams and 14+ yrs in the industry — I'm looking for leadership roles. More about me.
