Rahul Das.
I don't merely deliver a product, i strive to craft the very connection between the product and the end user. Design, i think, lies in the spaces between us, connecting us. It should inspire singular, unique and memorable experiences.
As a design leader with nearly 15 years of experience, my journey has been marked by a profound passion for creating impactful designs across various domains, including Product design, UI/UX, Transportation/Mobility, Architecture/Spatial design, Graphic design, and Branding/Communication. I've had the privilege of leading talented design teams and servicing global giants like Aon, KPMG, Barclays, Adidas, Ericsson, PWC (to name a few).
Currently serving as the Head of Design at Bolt.Earth, I am at the epicenter of the fast rising EV ecosystem and the interesting challenges it poses. The interaction between users and vehicles is at the cusp of revolutionary change.
As far as leadership goes, for me, it's about fostering an environment where creativity and innovation can flourish, guiding my teams to explore and innovate. Good designers often 'conjour' ideas and solutions through personal insight. A healthy, balanced and positive environment is critical for creative problem solving!
I have graduated from Istituto Europe di Design, Turin, Italy with a specialisation in Transportation Design as well as a Design Thinking and Innovation Management certificate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode.
Apart from my professional endeavors, I am deeply passionate about music, both as a musician and a producer. This creative outlet enriches my design philosophy, emphasizing on ideation, conceptualisation and execution—key elements that resonate across both disciplines. I create multi-genre music under the monikers SundogProject and Oort.
My approach often mimicks my background, multifaceted, diverse and 'out of the box' in nature. I really do believe diversity (in persona or experience) creates for more interesting futures!
