I’m Tarika Kumar, design leader specialised in Innovation and Interaction design.

Part Innovation Design Lead, part PhD Experience Design Researcher, part Practitioner, I have had the pleasure of designing beautiful brands, experiences, and expertise in multiple design disciplines.

My work is about designing a future that takes into account those things that make experience human– beauty, movement, physicality, globality. I build expressive and resonant products, services, and experiences, and I help businesses across the world do the same.
