Udemy - Designing for Global impact

At Udemy, I’m the first design hire in our India office and currently the only product designer here. I’m focused on shaping learner experiences through scalable, localized experience that work across diverse markets. My role sits at the intersection of product thinking, systems design, and strategic collaboration - balancing global consistency with regional relevance.

​

I’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams to define design foundations, contribute to platform-wide globalization strategy, and lead discovery efforts that prioritize local user needs, especially in high-impact regions like Japan. 

​

What I’m learning

​

• How to design with intention at scale, aligning design quality with business priorities.

• The importance of cross-cultural empathy and localized decision-making in a global product.

• How to drive collaboration across product, research, and marketing in a large org setting.

• Navigating ambiguity while maintaining a strong sense of purpose, ethics, and user advocacy.

This work has helped me grow not only as a designer but also as a strategic thinker—someone who can connect the dots between vision, craft, and real-world impact.
