I'm Aswath Sivakumaran, a transdisciplinary creative who solves problems. I have primarily executed research, designed experiences and managed diverse teams. In the past, I've also: worked on university magazines, been part of a film crew and been a mentor. Professionally I go by the moniker theaswath because the difference between a & the, is more than just grammar.
Form or function, that is the question. The wrong question. Design was never about form or function, it was always about being human. Whether it be business strategies for MNCs, mobile interfaces for startups or campaigns for non-profits, design has a role to play everywhere, and the power designers possess is immense. Armed with this understanding, determined to create positive change and a craving to learn, I aim to create a more human world filled with natural human experiences, one product/brand/study/project at a time. Driven and inspired by those who came before and determined to inspire and drive those who come after, I made it my mission to ensure that the design can be seen for what it truly is, the discipline of humanization.
