ABOUT
Sriram is a product designer and researcher, based in 
New York.
Info
Sriram (pronounced /shree-rahm/) is a product designer and researcher, currently working at Accolade as a Senior Product Designer. The focus there is how AI fits into real work: agents people can trust, generative and voice interfaces, and workflows that keep a person in the loop. Ideas are prototyped in code, so decisions rest on something people can actually use.
At Accolade that has meant taking the design from a rebrand to a design system to a product suite in pilot, and owning the system that keeps it all consistent.
Before Accolade, Sriram designed at Zoho, Marketeq Digital and an EduTech startup, for B2B SaaS, EduTech, nonprofit and IT consulting teams, and earned an M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction Design at Indiana University Bloomington.
Across all of it, the approach stays the same: find the problem worth solving, build the system around it, and ship work that users, teams and investors can get behind.
Outside work, Sriram explores new workflows and builds small apps and tools along the way.
Design Foundations
01
Form Follows Function
Beauty emerges from practicality, where designs that address and resolve user needs transcend mere aesthetics. Beyond resolving issues, it's essential to elevate the solution beyond mere utility, infusing it with elegance and aesthetic appeal.
02
Attention to Detail
A great design is only as good as its execution. I believe in the importance of craftsmanship - sweating the small stuff, paying attention to every detail, and bringing a meticulous approach to create high-quality work.
