Building real ways to connect, in an isolated world.
I build future-proof products, services, and spaces that anchor in the human experience.
Hi, there.
I’m Tarika Kumar, a doctoral level design researcher, trends forecaster, and innovation specialist exploring how place, presence, and practice can shape more connected futures.
Through Elsewhere, I work with organizations and communities to design third spaces—those vital environments that live between home, work, and the unknown..
Strategic design for the spaces in between.
Bringing clarity to complex problems through cultural research, spatial thinking, and relational design—helping brands and institutions create more human, connected spaces, products and services.
Let’s meet elsewhere.
Whether you're building a space, launching a product, or reimagining your system—if you care about connection, I’d love to collaborate.
