About

I'm Soumitra Sathe, a Service & Strategic Designer.

My unique blend of creative and analytical thinking allows me to transform complex business challenges into innovative, user-focused design solutions. With a passion for creating experiences that resonate with customers and drive business outcomes, I'm as comfortable strategising as I am in the creative zone.

During my prior design consulting experience I've navigated diverse sectors like banking, insurance, ed-tech, e-commerce, B2B tech, and government, consistently delivering results that exceed expectations, while managing consulting teams and client stakeholders relations. Through my work, I bridge design, strategy, and business, delivering measurable value.


Currently on the look out for Service & Strategic Design opportunities.
