Hi, I'm Sneka Sampath
I'm a design leader spearheading digital innovation, empowering UX practitioners to craft exceptional user experiences.
My Leadership Philosophy
Cultivating a People-Centric Culture
I firmly believe in placing the team at the forefront. I foster a culture of empowerment, with autonomy for exploration and learning, coupled with a strong emphasis on accountability.
Data Is King
Data is the key element that transforms opinions into indisputable facts. Insights learned through external research and user testing gives the confidence to make informed decisions. My guiding principle is simple: “When in doubt, test and learn!"
Discovery Before Design
Incorporating collaborative discovery practices to identify and prioritize pain points during the initial phases of a project facilitates rapid alignment of project goals, minimizes subpar designs, and streamlines the design in the long run.
Pick Your Battles
When user needs clash with business goals, adaptability is crucial to finding common ground. Recognizing when nurturing stakeholder relationships outweighs immediate design gains is key to establishing long-term partnerships with the business.

Here's a look at some of the design problems I've solved through discovery process, design sprints, user testing and more.
