Hi again!
While I studied at Coventry University, England, [MA Automotive & Transport Design] I had the opportunity to collaborate with talented people from diverse disciplines in the UK and Europe [Microcab Industries Ltd. & TInnGO- EU project].
I discovered my passion towards User Research & Service Design while working as a Transportation Designer. I am more interested in understanding users & designing holistic experiences both front stage and back stage. I use my 'Design thinking, Collaboration & Communication' skills to design experiences .

What people say
"I have known Sanjeevi since September 2021 when he joined TInnGO, an EU Research project, in which I was working as a Research Assistant. Sanjeevi actively participated in weekly multidisciplinary meetings where we co-created and evaluated design concepts. He independently designed research-informed smart mobility solutions, iterated based on feedback from the group consisting of senior designers, researchers, and users. He has a deep understanding of human-centered approach."
"I have worked with Sanjeevi for 2 years at Emobi, an electric vehicle start up company. He was good at Research & Design and also understanding engineering constraints. He fully dedicated himself to any task he took on (design and other related tasks). He was willing to go the extra mile, often exceeding the boundaries of his role to ensure outstanding results for the product, company and users."
"I have worked with Sanjeevi for more than a year at Squaircle, a design agency in Chennai. His dedication & attitude towards each project were above expectations. He took ownership of the projects, handled client communication and completed them by collaborating with the team. We worked together on a high stake project with odds against us in which he supported extensively by working extra hours to finish on time. Sanjeevi is definitely an asset to any team."
