Experience Designer,
Graduated in
Media & Design,
part time photojournalist.

I'm Lijo karlo, an experience designer and design researcher from Arunachal Pradesh, India. I have been practising design since 2021 when I joined the National Institute of Fashion Technologies, Mumbai. I have previously worked as a UX/UI designer and a design researcher.

My experience so far includes building designs for startups, crafting product visions while collaborating with cross functional partners, building narratives and pitches to senior leadership.

I also have a background in new media technologies and have worked in various publishing houses, and have also worked with film and documentary teams.

Skills & Interests

I enjoy learning, growing and evolving my thoughts, skills, and approaches to tackle the ever-changing challenges and demands of our world. I flourish in, proactive and supportive teams that prioritize ethical product development and foster inclusive cultures.

My design journey encompasses various disciplines such as design for social impact, sustainability design, product design, storytelling, research, prototyping, wireframing, and photography.

In my free time, you will find me by the riverside fishing, or meeting people from creative field, specially film, and discussing contents with them, making DIY stuffs, or simply sitting on my balcony reading a book. I watch Modern Family and Harry Potter on repeat. And I hope I overcome my fear of swimming this year!
