Hi, I’m Dharini, a creative director and product lead working at the intersection of brand and product.

I’ve built newsrooms at The New York Times, design systems for Verizon, and AI-native experiences with Meta and Microsoft.

I think in systems, direct teams, and still get my hands dirty.
Currently freelancing and consulting.
