Jay, abbreviated to JD, is a Design nomad. He has journeyed across multiple specializations within Design—lived and worked in multiple geographies. JD is amongst the early Designers in Asia to be part of a VC firm.

For over half a decade, he led and grew the UX practice at Adobe India and briefly at Flipkart, India’s eCommerce giant. Formerly he ran his own design consultancy in the UK, started the first digital practice in the tiny island nation of Mauritius and dabbled on numerous new product ideas in US’ WestCoast!

In his current role at the VC firm SAIF Partners, Jay works closely with Founders, CEOs and product teams to define delightful digital experiences and create a user-centric culture across SAIF’s portfolio companies: from some of India’s most recognised post-IPO brands to young startups with 3 founders and a dog.

JD is fluent in four languages, excluding HTML5, French and Swift. A typographer by training, he tweets as @JDallcaps
