Rakesh Arvapalli - Product Desginer

My Story

I am an User Experience / Product Designer. I am skilled at finding and defining problems, developing a bigger picture by analyzing the problem from multiple perspectives.

I love sketching, wire-framing and building prototypes. I get excited about mobile interactions and experiences as it has become an integral part of everyone’s life.

In my next role, I would love to work with an in-house product team so I can be part of the product from inception till production.
