> Designing Experiences | Currently Traveling & Gathering New Perspectives

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/viveknarayan

My approach to User Experience design is influenced by a background in Business along with Research. I understand how businesses operate, and hone in on the user(s) all along the design process to generate relevant usable user-centric solutions. Ideally, I prefer to get involved at the early stages of projects. I thrive in environments where I get to think broadly and make meaningful contributions to product strategy.
