Kenneth Mark Dsouza

Product Design manager with experience building and leading design teams in SEA and India.

Recently, I was a senior design manager at Jiva.ag (2022-2025), an Agritech startup, where I built and led the product design and research team, working on a suite of mobile apps and web apps for users in rural Indonesia. You can read about the work we did in our Medium publication, Notes from the Fields.

Prior to this, I worked at Gojek managing a team of designers on the Merchant Platform aka GoBiz and at Practo, an Indian healthcare startup, working on their doctor facing products like Practo Pro.

I used to publish a newsletter for product design managers in the software industry. You can access the Archives here.
