Ankit Kumar is a final year student in the Masters of Design program at IIT Kanpur. He has spent a large part of his formative years in developing a palette to understand, process and assimilate the essence of 'Idea centered' projects, and enjoys every opportunity to dispel the notion of close-ended professional domains. Before he was designing interfaces and developing product briefs, Ankit believed that debates and quizzes could save the world. He has taken part in National and International events for the same and still jumps at the idea of hitting the buzzer in time. He has worked as a Product Designer at Michael Aram Design Inc. Currently working on Interaction Design based projects with Microsoft Research and The Design Factory, Aalto University, Finland. Ankit recently figured in the Electrolux Design Lab 2010.
