Hi, I'm Deepika!
I’m a user-centered design engineer and strategist with over 4 years of experience developing MedTech products to enhance patient experience and outcomes. I recently graduated from Harvard with a Master's in Design Engineering, where I honed skills in integrating design, engineering, and business strategy. As the co-founder of dVerse Labs, I led the development and successful launch of a medical device across hospitals in India, balancing user needs with strategic implementation.
I’m also committed to advancing STEM education through mentoring and enjoy creative pursuits as a published children’s book illustrator. This blend of technical, strategic, and creative skills allows me to approach complex challenges from multiple perspectives.
I've received several awards including the iF Design Student Award, IxDA Award, Harvard President's Innovation Challenge, MIT COVID-19 Challenge and UNICEF Idea for Change.
I enjoy organizing conferences and talks. Most recently, I co-led the Harvard x Design Conference '24 at the Harvard Graduate School of Design
