H E L L O ,
I'm Shruti KNR.
A product owner aiming to enhance people's lives by building better experiences to empower communities. I believe in collaboration for impact and use design thinking, business strategy strengthened by behavioural insights and iterative prototyping to solve systemic and complex global challenges.
I have contributed to public and private sector, expanding from a sole designer to leading teams, shaping product vision and strategy and advocating for users to scale projects globally.
Currently, working with World Health Orgnization (Geneva), building narratives to design solutions that can drive change for health across the globe. I have worked and lived in Switzerland, New York, France, Seoul and India.
