I had the wonderful opportunity to be part of Deepak’s design team at Hyperbots in 2024 as a UX Design Intern. From hiring to onboarding and everyday collaboration, he was a thoughtful, reliable, and empowering presence throughout my journey. Deepak’s take on design as both a problem solving craft and a collaborative practice was instrumental in shaping our brand design work. The trust he placed in me to step into a more UX-focused role within a fast-paced environment opened up opportunities for cross functional collaboration, which broadened my perspective as a designer. His commitment to team growth was evident in our 1:1 mentorship sessions, where his guidance and feedback helped shape my foundation as a UX professional. His attention to detail, compassionate leadership, and forward-thinking vision created a space conducive to impactful design and meaningful collaboration. I consider myself lucky to have had his mentorship so early in my UX career, and I’d be happy to work with him again should the opportunity arise.
