About Harini Chandrasekar
Hello! I\'m Harini. With an eclectic background and an open mind, I pride myself on being passionate about making a difference and adding value at every stage. Prior to graduating from the Global Marketing Communication & Advertising program at Emerson College, I attended India\'s premier Design school, the National Institute of Design and graduated with an Industrial Design Degree. Merit scholarships took me to Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden as well as the Politechnico Di Milano in Italy adding to my education and international perspective. I have taught courses such as design research, strategic design thinking and iterative research techniques and worked on Fortune 500 research and design projects for 16+ years across the globe including UK, Europe, United States, Russia and Asia. My current role at Meta helps connect all these dots.
