Krithi Nalla is a designer of interactions. Her curiosities in world-building, and design fiction drive her provocations through the lens of emerging products, nature and behaviour. Through her writing, Krithi examines how technology generates shifts in our principles, values, and perceptions of human essence. Most recently, she told some fun stories with Ogilvy, New York.
Her body of work has been awarded the Young Ones ADC for Multidisciplinary Portfolio (2024) and Most Creative Use of Technology (2022) by IBM. Her work has also been featured in Microscope Gallery, New York, Forecast Journal, UAAD Magazine, AdAge, and Retail Wire.
She holds a degree in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design, New York, where she enjoyed challenging the peculiarities of today and exploring the design decisions of tomorrow.
