Tarika Kumar places design and innovation in context. Real impact — social, cultural, commercial — comes not from the quality of a thing alone, but from how precisely it meets the world it enters. Her practice spans inclusive product design, embodied HCI research, and design leadership at scale, unified by a single question: what are the conditions this needs to inhabit, and what happens when it lands there?
