"Form Follows Function"
You can sell anything, (ever heard of that "sell me this pen" line?) only if you know how to?
What all do you need to know to do that? What all does affect you product research, ideation, design and development? And over all, how to know whether you product/idea/concept is market feasible, i.e., will the clients accept it or not!?
I am a Design nomad with an eagerness to simplify and solve the user-based problems.
Lets ride a journey to exploit new technological knowledge, develop new complementary assets, establish strong market leadership, and both create and satisfy an appetite on the part of customers and investors for products that perform well in terms of range, responsiveness, and user interface.
