Hi! I'm Amrita

A full-stack UX designer, painter, and mentor with 15+ years of experience spanning visual design, marketing, product design, UX,
and research. I specialize in building accessible, scalable solutions
that empower stakeholders and delight customers. I have launched design experiences for AWS, Amazon, Intuit, Verizon, Vodafone,
NID and Essilor
across South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and
Emerging markets. I’m currently leading Applied AI initiatives
across Amazon, with a focus on Agentic AI — designing tools that
cut down the grind for knowledge workers and free them to focus
on innovation and product strategy. I thrive in cross-functional, collaborative environments, while also enjoying deep, hands-on
individual contribution.
‍
Outside the worlds of AI/LLMs, marketing, app ecosystems, and
devices, you’ll usually find me geeking out over typefaces,
exploring art, or diving into the rich traditions of Indian crafts.
This site is a high-level snapshot of my recent professional work.
I’d be glad to share more—feel free to reach out.

Book Illustrations

Lion and Fox

Published by: Tulika Publications


I illustrated Lion and the Fox, a retelling of a Panchatantra story published by Tulika in 12 Indian languages. Created in the Gond art style, this book is one of my most loved works, reflecting my deep appreciation for Indian folk traditions. It has also been adopted into the CBSE curriculum, allowing children across India to experience folk art through storytelling.

Magnolias

Published by: Tulika Publications

I illustrated Magnolias, the story of a gardener and the magnolia flowers that bloom and shine in the night moonlight. Rendered in the Indian miniature style, the artwork captures the quiet magic of the blossoms and the tenderness of the tale. This project reflects my love for Rajasthani miniature paintings and my interest in using them to portray the beauty of nature.

Testimonials

"Amrita is more than a coach, she is a mentor. She truly loves design thinking and is a genius problem solver. She helped me think more “high level” about my case studies and how to present them to interviewers properly. The best part is that she cares about your success— she helped me combat my crippling imposter syndrome by showing me how to best highlight my skills through my projects and confidently communicate my process. Previously I wasn’t getting any interviews! This program positioned me for success and I was offered a Product Designer role at Industry Dive."

~ Farah Lopez, Sr UX Designer at Vanguard
Testimonial

"Amrita has been instrumental in helping me reach my goal of achieving a career transition from marketing to UX design at Amazon. In the first 6 months of meeting, Amrita met with me diligently 2-3 times per week to train me in UX lessons, provide hands-on project work, and expose me to real-life design scenarios. She went above and beyond to help me build a strong foundation in UX fundamentals and enabled me to think like a designer - even within my marketing role. "
