About Me
Hello! I’m Karunakar Kadari, a UX Architect, Product Designer, Design Thinker, and a Human-Loving Optimist. I truly love what I do and am passionate about creating meaningful user experiences.
Professional Journey
With over a decade of experience in UX design and management, I have established myself as a dedicated design manager. I currently serve as the UX Architect at InovarTech, where I lead a talented team of over four product designers. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse brands like T-Mobile, IRS, DigiYatra, Navapp, and Helical Insight. In these roles, I have led design teams to develop insight-led, human-centered experiences that meet both business objectives and user needs.
Leadership Philosophy
I lead with empathy and enthusiasm, focusing on people both in design and leadership. I oversee diverse interdisciplinary teams, fostering strong relationships with designers and stakeholders alike. My approach ensures that our design practices are collaborative and enjoyable, creating an environment where everyone wants to contribute and be a part of the process. I believe in empowering my team through mentorship and encouraging innovative thinking to solve complex problems.

Core Values & Beliefs
Passion is Everything
If you don't enjoy what you're doing, it's important to make a change. Life is short, and it's essential to channel your energy into something you believe in. I’m fortunate to work with inspiring and motivated people who share this passion.
Always Be Learning
Humans are always growing and evolving. I constantly seek ways to challenge and improve myself by participating in hackathons, reading industry blogs, working on new projects, and attending meet-ups.
Embrace Your Creativity
Everyone needs a creative outlet of some sort – otherwise, we’d go crazy! When I’m not designing, I love working on interior design projects, whether it's for my own space or helping friends bring their vision to life. I also enjoy staying active as a fitness enthusiast, which keeps me balanced and energized for my creative work.
Stay Humble
No matter who you are, it’s important to treat everyone with respect. We all share the same basic needs and face our own challenges daily. Staying true to yourself and others fosters a positive and respectful environment.
