Hey, I’m Rituparna, a senior designer with 8+ years of experience building products that bring clarity to complexity and drive measurable impact.
I’m currently leading the design for the Honeywell Community Suite, where I work at the intersection of business, analytics, and human experience ;shaping how cities become more resilient and connected.
​
Growing up in India, I was surrounded by vibrant colors and layered textures that sparked my early curiosity about how design influences behavior. That fascination led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Architecture and later a Master’s in Human–Computer Interaction from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, where I deepened my understanding of empathy, systems thinking, and the relationship between people and technology.
​
Throughout my career, I’ve designed across sectors — from healthcare and energy to aviation and urban technology — ​ a seasoned designer who has a passion for designing for deeply technical domains, I thrive in ambiguity, and have a strong human-centered design process. I collaborate cross-functionally, and designs systematic solutions that are equally thoughtful, elegant, and delightful.
My niche delves into crafting 0–1 products, starting with Samarth (James Dyson Award winner 2018), followed by Microsoft SharePoint, IBM and currently leading UX for Honeywell projects
​
I believe good design balances business clarity with human sensitivity and great teams help making them a reality.
Out of clutter, find simplicity
My design process
I'm passionate about lean methodologies in building product, through increments and user validation.I shape things by iterating on both feature level and focus areas of business, day by day.

I am a “Chai” person with an innate obsession for cleanliness.
​
I love to travel, pen my thoughts, and illustrate my experiences with writing, doodles and poetry.Not an avid reader though, I like reading about architectural history and human psychology.
​
I'v always laughed whenever asked to smile, so most of the people have never seen my teeth-less smile.

Having come across this one podcast " Making the most of micro moments" by Shamsi Iqbal from my thesis days, got me intrigued towards human behaviour, empathy and psychology through design.
