About Arka Raina
Design Consultant at IBM
I’m a Design Consultant at IBM, working across a variety of industries to design inclusive products/services. I have experience across all disciplines of Design: user research, design thinking workshops, UX/UI, and visual design. The depth of my T-shape is focused on leading and managing teams at the intersection of UR, UX and UI Design.
In addition to Design, I also have experience across the full product-software delivery lifecycle: project management, business analysis, development, test and Agile delivery. This has helped me to understand how Design fits into the wider picture, and has really helped me to collaborate well with business and tech teams when I’m designing.
As someone who sits on the intersections of multiple underrepresented groups, I like to bring my passion for diversity, equity and inclusion to ensure that my designs are accessible and inclusive to all. I’d love to mentor you or even just provide a listening ear or have a coffee chat, especially if you’re from an underrepresented group, so please get in touch!
