about me
Heyyyoo! I'm Sakeena, an award-winning multi-disciplinary designer. Graduating from Pearl Academy has laid the foundation for my design journey. Currently, I work as an Innovation Design Team Lead at Accenture The Dock- Accenture's global flagship R&D and innovation hub making really cool stuff!
But hey, my design adventures don't stop there! As a firm believer in sharing knowledge, I also devote my time to mentoring aspiring designers. You'll find me guiding and inspiring design students at universities and various online platforms. And yes, even those brave enough to slide into my DMs!
Beyond the realm of pixels, prototypes and presentations, I'm a self-proclaimed board game geek and dancer, always ready for an intense gaming session or Bollywood night out. And let's not forget my refined taste in memes – I'm a true connoisseur! I have a weakness for tangy lemon tarts and a steaming cup of good coffee...they're my ultimate guilty pleasures!
