Harsha Ravi

Harsha's creative career has spanned nearly two decades and has immersed him in industries such as cars, products (consumer, digital, wearables and medical), brand, graphics and illustration. Principally, he has worked as a designer across the concept and production teams for General Motors, Volvo Cars, Faraday Future and Fisker, alongside other independent ventures. He is fascinated by the interplay between the cabin landscape (the vehicle interior) and consumer psychology (the human interior) and how they coalesce to inform our experience of mobility and the built environment as a whole.

Presentation

The hidden chaos of creative genius

Designers are a curious and sensitive breed, naturally attuned to the spaces around them. They are wired to seek dissonance – those moments when things don't function well – and craft compelling, intuitive and elegant product solutions that feel warm and welcoming. Yet the internal chaos that shapes the designer's artistic method is often unseen and receives little appreciation. This talk unravels their complex experience, examines its idiosyncrasies and explores what it can teach us about unlocking genius in our professional practice.
