Namaste 🙏,

I’m Rakesh Patwari, an enterprise digital product designer and a design enabler.

Personally, it has been an incredible and humbling journey from a small village in South India to the Silicon Valley, from being a typical programmer to a design leader.

Values that motivate and drive me:

❤️ Authenticity

Being true to who I am and respecting who they are.

⚖️ Balance

There is a place for everything.

🤔 Curiosity & Compassion

There is always something to uncover.

✋🏼 Integrity

Be accountable and own my actions.

👐🏼 Trust

There is strength in partnership.
