I’m Krishna Suresh, an MS Engineering Design Innovation (EDI) student at Northwestern University with a passion for storytelling and design.

With three years of experience as a software engineer, I recognized gaps in Human-Centered Innovation process both personally and in industry, driving my desire to make a change. I’ve built and designed software across e-commerce, social impact, AI, and healthcare spaces, always focusing on creating meaningful products that solve real problems.

As a designer, I aim to advocate for users, influence product direction, and engage business stakeholders. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging my creative problem-solving skills and analytical thinking to make a significant impact.

What am I working on now?
