Who is Surya Vanka?
Surya is a design innovator with over 25 years of hands-on experience bringing the design of physical and digital products to life. And through Authentic Design, the studio he founded in 2014, he is on a mission to unlock the creative potential of everyone on the planet.
One of the ways Surya is doing that is through Design Swarms - a democratic design approach - used by organisations like the Clinton Global Initiative, the United Nations, and Global Humanitarian Lab, to help tackle a variety of wicked problems, including the Opioid Epidemic, Domestic Violence, Water Borne Diseases, Digital Equity, and Ocean Pollution.
Before founding Authentic Design, Surya was a Director of User Experience at Microsoft, based at the Redmond campus. There, he led multiple design teams, including the enterprise-wide design excellence team, and was a key contributor to Microsoft’s experience-led renewal.
