Hey there! I’m Neha

I like to build where the product isn’t obvious yet in order to create experiences that increase human agency.
‍
I’m currently pursuing a Master in Design Engineering at Harvard and working with Google DeepMind, where my research explores how to make AI systems more reliable and useful in the real world. My work moves between model behavior, product thinking, and prototyping.
‍
Before Harvard, I spent four years at Deloitte’s Applied Design & Innovation practice, leading product strategy, research, and design across generative AI, payments, search, and healthcare. I’ve also worked with NASA on human-centered systems for long-duration space exploration.

Outside of work, I paint, build strange things, and tend to get interested in questions that sit somewhere between technology, culture, and the natural world.
