Remote Meetings and New Client Norms

Lisa joined Itu Chaudhuri Design (ICD) soon after her graduation in 1997 from the National Institute of Design (NID), where she studied Visual Communication, and has been a principal at Itu Chaudhri’s Design for over a decade. Lisa leads their UI/UX projects, both ERP and editorial, maintaining a keen, yet skeptical eye on novel developments. Lisa has taught and judged at the NID and and has been a jury member, moderator speaker at UX events. On this episode, we talk about the series of events that led to Lisa becoming a designer, her experience at NID, how she joined ICD as an intern and then worked there for more than two decades. We talk about some projects Lisa has led, her concerns about the world of UX and about the new challenges a design agency like ICD faces in the 2020s and much more.
