Human-centred at heart. Business-minded by design.
Rajib Konar · Design Director

Better experiences.
Stronger teams. Lasting impact.

For over 18 years, I’ve helped clients see what design can make possible, set a clear experience direction and build the teams and trust to deliver it.

How I lead

Win confidence.
Shape direction.
Enable delivery.

Pre-sales, experience strategy and stakeholder relationships are connected parts of my work. The trust built in the first conversation carries into delivery and the next opportunity.

I bring a clear point of view, make the opportunity tangible and help people agree on the decisions that move it forward.

I look beyond the stated brief to understand the problem, the ambition and the people behind it. A clear point of view, something tangible to react to and a credible first 30 days help clients see how we could work together.

THE SKILLS THROUGHOUT

Storytelling that makes the decision clear.

I connect the situation, what is at stake, the choice and its consequences. Evidence supports the story, and the lesson gives it a purpose.

THE PERSON IN THE ROOM

The same insight, made relevant.

A finance leader, a product owner and an engineer need different context. I adapt the framing and level of detail while keeping the underlying truth intact.

Facilitation & workshops

Bring people together.
Move decisions forward.

I start with the outcome, then choose the workshop that helps us get there.

What I bring into the room.

Tools and methods evolve. These beliefs shape how I ask questions, make decisions and work with people.

01

Understand the person behind the brief

Ask what success means to the people involved. Their ambition and concerns can reveal what the written brief leaves out.

02

Make the trade-off explicit

Write principles that help a team choose. Be clear about what the experience should prioritise and what it should give up.

03

Bring evidence and a point of view

Explain the recommendation and why it matters. Be ready to change direction when the evidence challenges it.

04

Earn trust through candour

Share difficult news early, engage with disagreement and follow through on decisions. Trust grows through how the work gets done.
