Gurgenius Kapoor

I'm a well-rounded T-shaped design professional with a strong foundation in design, strategy and cross-functional collaboration. With a Master's degree in Design from IIT Guwahati and Executive Education at IIM Ahmedabad, I bring nearly seven years of experience in product development through Industrial Design and User experience—delivering impactful digital, physical and virtual experiences. I have worked extensively in healthcare and consumer sectors, currently focusing on Medtech device design and usability testing. Leading B2B product innovation for clients like Johnson & Johnson, Roche, Novartis and Omnicell, I balance user needs, technical feasibility and business goals—translating insights into actionable design strategy while mentoring teams to deliver meaningful and scalable solutions. Looking ahead, I aim to immerse myself in AI-integrated systems and emerging technologies to create positive user experiences. I tend to merge creative exploration with business strategy to shape adaptive, future-ready solutions that drive both user impact and organizational growth.

What I believe in
We are not artists, though we work with aesthetics and emotion. We are not inventors, though we often bring something new into the world. We are not engineers, but we understand how things work and how they're made. And while we're not marketers, our designs can shape trends and define what people value. As designers, we live at the intersection of form and function—where ideas are shaped by intention, and every detail is guided by how it will be used, experienced, and remembered. A good designer makes a product desirable. A great designer builds a lasting relationship between the product and the person who uses it.
