See what my mentees and co-workers have to say about working with me and the results I helped them achieve.
Divya worked with us on our design team during the summer of 2017 in Boston, and right off the bat it was clear that she would offer more than the standard contributions of a summer intern. When given tasks to complete, she was fast, accurate, and extremely helpful to the team, always making sure she knew what was needed, and then delivering results. Even more than that, Divya posed a lot of great questions that led to important discussions, including big-picture thought-provoking questions about the vision and goals for our product. Divya has a curious mind, is extremely thoughtful about her work (and the team's work), and shows great attention to detail. She's also very fun and interesting to converse with on a daily basis. I'm sure she'll do great in all her future opportunities and I highly recommend her.

Divya is absolutely brilliant! Her ability to put things into context and pinpoint the exact problems I was facing is incredible. She also provided direct and actionable solutions. We had two sessions, and they were so easy-going, full of insights, and definitely helped me find direction. I'm looking forward to having more sessions with her, and I'm very grateful for the advice and help she gave me.

I recently had an opportunity to speak to Divya, She was able to provide clear and precise answers to all my questions. She helped me to identify the things I need to do. Her recommendations are very precise and actionable. She is a very amazing mentor. Thank you, Divya for your guidance and mentorship. You are awesome

Divya reviewed my resume and portfolio and her feedback on my portfolio was invaluable, providing important insights and constructive suggestions. She has great understanding of the UX career path and offered me insightful and candid responses to all my inquiries. I would actively seek further opportunities to connect with Divya as I continue to develop and progress in my journey as a UX professional

My session with Divya was very enlightening! She gave me great insights into the world of product design in Google while also sharing her own experience. We discussed the best strategies to enter the job market and how I can approach this world for the first time. I will definitely book a follow up session. If anyone is looking for a great mentor, I totally recommend Divya :)

I had an excellent session with Divya on @ADPList. This was my second session actually and I can tell you that she is the best mentor that you can ask for! She has helped me so much starting from design thinking to portfolio review. She is constantly helping me to improve my portfolio and I am already on my way to book another session with her.

Concept & STrategy
Together, we develop a strategy that successfully combines your goals with the needs of your target audience. Based on this concept, I create the first drafts of the brand identity or wireframes and an interactive prototype. This provides us with a idea of whats to come.
