Kiran Raj Samarthyam

I ve worked on enterprise software and design systems at IBM, prototyped apps for people at work with Apple, and now I build tools for Designers and Engineers at InVision. Along the way, I ve designed integrations for whole-team tools like Slack, GitHub, Jira, and Trello. Non-professionally, I m into indoor climbing, slacklining, tattoos, plants, old Land Cruisers, Dragon Ball, films, and my cat. You can ask me about any of the topics above, including collaborating with different stakeholders, pitching to executives, working at a huge company vs a startup, design research, making decisions, public speaking, interviewing for peers and leaders, my product design approach and process, or my POV on design tooling. Opinions expressed are solely my own and do not express the views or opinions of my employer.
