Hello, I am Divya.
I am an industrial designer based in Brooklyn, New York. I am inspired by the everyday pursuits of people and fascinated by the connection between humans, objects, and environments. I aim to capture this relationship in delightfully functional products.
With over 4 years of experience designing consumer products, my work has a strong focus on user experience, sustainable practices, and design for manufacturing.
