I'm a passionate MA/MS Innovation Design Engineering candidate at the prestigious Imperial College London Dyson School and Royal College of Art. With a rich background of over 9 years in Service and Digital Product Design, I've worked for McKinsey and innovative startups across 10 countries. Leading, designing, and launching successful products, services, and businesses have been my forte. Driven by an urge to address the world's most pressing issues, especially the climate crisis, I'm pursuing further education to build advanced innovative solutions. While on that journey, I proudly emerged as a top-3 winner in the RCA Grand Challenge 2023 among 97 teams.
My key focus at AcrossRCA was to combat the devastating effects of heatwaves on people's lives. With global temperatures predicted to increase by 2 degrees Celsius, a staggering 68 million people, primarily in poorer countries, will be forced to migrate due to heat stress caused by heatwaves. Therefore, I aimed to develop a solution that could significantly mitigate the impact of heatwaves on people's health during crises, safeguarding communities and saving lives.
As a Design Engineer, I have been eager to develop meaningful and innovative experiences in both physical and digital product development for a more sustainable future. When I left McKinsey to join the Innovation Design Engineering Masters, my ultimate goal was to battle the climate crisis head-on. By harnessing the power of emerging technologies, I strive to create more sustainable cities and develop groundbreaking solutions that contribute to a brighter, more resilient future for all. AcrossRCA was a challenging platform to do that.
