I’m Shruti Kabo - a product designer, strategist, and visual storyteller.

I design systems that breathe: intuitive products, scalable design systems, and services shaped with empathy for the people who build, operate, and use them. With 10+ years of experience across healthcare, enterprise, and public systems, I’ve worked with clients like Fujifilm Healthcare, the Government of India, and Rockwell Automation.

Current: Associate Director, Experience Design @ Icarus Nova, Bengaluru.

Featured Projects

Over the years, my work has stretched across sectors, scales, and mediums, but a few through-lines remain. Here’s how I think about what I do, and where I bring the most value:

End-to-end product and service design
From 0–1 launches to refining and scaling mature platforms

Bridging user insight and operational reality
Translating research into solutions that work in real-world contexts

Building adaptable design systems
Ensuring consistency, speed, and long-term sustainability across teams and products

Shaping brand expression through experience
Connecting narrative, visual identity, and service delivery into a coherent whole
