Dipali Aphale

I am a context-driven designer who combines empathy with evidence-based innovation to create a better world for those who need it most.

I am currently attending Royal College of Art (MA) and Imperial College London (MSc) for a postgraduate program called global innovation design, where classes are separated by terms in London, Tokyo, and New York. Over the past two years, I have been able to work on projects, which combine service design, product design, and holistic stakeholder research for under served communities. Previously, I graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of industrial design. 

My professional and personal interests are in healthcare services, medical product design, visual communication, and social impact. I am comfortable working on projects that require creativity, systems-level critical thinking, and resilience to challenging situations. I plan to continue expanding my knowledge and skillsets through professional opportunities that integrate scientific and playful human-centered systems within design.
