# Uday Gajendar

> Strategic UX design leader and catalyst.

I bring 25 years of experience designing software (interaction + interface + IA) at a wide range of companies — enterprise, consumer, startup, and also agency: PayPal, Adobe, Citrix, Oracle, Cisco, and others… A dot-connector and systems thinker who uses sketching & sense making methods to explore what's possible, I specialize in product innovation, collaborative workshops, and strategic design. I’m also a prolific writer & speaker who curates UX community events and newsletters via Rosenfeld Media.

I can provide guidance on: 
- shaping your design philosophy 
- career development goals
- cross functional collaboration 
- managing ambiguity
- customer driven mindset
- decision making with research 
- ownership & driving results

Areas in particular which I’d love to support you: 
- review your professional “kit” and your narrative 
- onboarding into a new role or project 
- promotion planning 
- managing up / stakeholder relationships 
- offboarding & transition planning

Finally I can discuss ways to leverage your craft with influence for impact!
