Quicksand is a design research and innovation consultancy with projects in diverse sectors throughout India and frontier markets. I direct all communications for the company, including marketing and outreach efforts and project-level strategy, implementation, and documentation. I am also one of the Principals, responsible for leading business development activities in the United States, directing projects, interfacing with clients, and contributing to the growth and operations of the company. Our human-centered design approach allows us to add value in any sector, though my work primarily is in social innovation and development.

Integrated Marketing ManagerABC Family | New York, USA | Dec 2007-May 2010

After initially joining the company as an Account Service Representative, I transitioned into the role of Integrated Marketing Manger. As such, I created unique marketing solutions which aligned the network’s and advertiser’s brands. I directed every step of the process: conceptualization; execution; presentation of performance recaps upon campaign completion; acted as liaison between production team and clients throughout to ensure brand messaging accuracy and satisfaction.
