Sanchi Bhardwaj is a Strategic Designer and Design Advisor working at the intersection of governance, public systems, and social innovation. Currently Research & Strategy Lead and Founding Partner at Crossed Design, she has spent 13 years working across the Global South and APAC, advising governments, international development agencies, and multilateral organisations on embedding human-centered design into policy, programs, and institutional thinking. A postgraduate in Strategic Design Management from NID, Sanchi brings a rare combination of design research, systems thinking, and strategic communication to some of the most complex development challenges of our time.
Her work spans behaviour change, sustainability, and social impact — often in contexts where design has never had a seat at the table. She has worked in senior advisory and leadership capacities with organisations such as GIZ, British Council, and Adobe, shaping how design thinking is applied to governance and development at scale. Known for translating complex, multi-stakeholder realities into clear strategic frameworks, she works closely with policy makers, educators, and community leaders to ensure that interventions are not just well-designed but genuinely inclusive. A committed advocate for design-led governance, Sanchi continues to push for design to move from the margins of public systems to the center of decision-making across India and beyond.

Harshit Karia is a designer who doesn’t believe in straight lines—career-wise or creatively. With a background that spans sociology, business, and design, he has built a career at the intersection of structure and intuition. From working with CXOs and leading decision-making in high-stakes environments to getting his hands dirty with pixels and systems, Harshit brings a rare blend of strategic thinking and creative execution.

Over the years, he has moved fluidly between roles—designer, entrepreneur, product manager, and now a consulting leader—across industries ranging from gaming and fintech to real estate and enterprise systems. His work is anchored in systems thinking, pattern recognition, and an obsessive curiosity to understand how things connect beneath the surface. Whether it’s building design systems or solving complex operational challenges, he thrives on bringing clarity to ambiguity.

At his core, Harshit is a seeker—of ideas, patterns, and meaning. He believes great design isn’t just about aesthetics or usability, but about seeing what others overlook: the invisible threads that connect people, problems, and possibilities. His work (and thinking) is driven by one simple pursuit—to keep connecting the dots, and in doing so, help others see the bigger picture.

Sandipana Das is a UX Designer at IBM whose work sits at the intersection of AI, enterprise systems, and human-centered design. Beyond enterprise product design, Sandipana explores the future of learning and equitable access, especially in contexts where technology may extend guidance beyond institutional limits.

She designs for complex, high-stakes environments across sustainability, finance, and knowledge-rich workflows, with a focus on how intelligent systems can better support comprehension, decision-making, and trust.
Her practice combines design strategy, systems thinking, and emerging AI behaviors to examine how interfaces might evolve from reactive tools into more context-aware forms of support. She is particularly interested in adaptive AI, multimodal interaction, and the ethical questions that arise when systems begin interpreting human signals, behavior, and cognitive strain.

Michelle Espinosa brings a distinctive voice shaped by her Mexican and Midwest heritage and neurodivergence. Her first film, Silence, screened for three years at Los Angeles Director’s Guild Theater, Los Feliz Theater, L.A. Film Forum, Laemmle’s Royal, and at the Foundation for Art Resources Benefit.

An AFI Directing Fellow with a Master of Science, Michelle was described as a “gifted, original talent” and featured at an AFI Lifetime Achievement red carpet event on CBS. Her 16MM short, Pinfeathers, received critical acclaim from the New York Times and Scarecrow Video, won at the Chicago International Film Festival, and decades later was selected to represent AFI’s catalog of shorts.

Michelle believes that being a volunteer is the practice of employing one's compassion for a higher purpose. Ms. Espinosa spent three days a month in prisons for fifteen years facilitating the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) for incarcerated men. AVP is a process by which incarcerated men and women and community members learn communication, coping skills, and deeper self-awareness as alternatives to violence. For three years, Michelle was a volunteer responder and on-call manager for the Los Angeles City Mayor's Crisis Response Team. CRT is called to the scene of fatalities or multi-casualty incidents by L.A. Fire and Police Departments–to assist witnesses and families–until the Coroner leaves. While a practicing mediator and facilitator with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for twenty years, Michelle was invited to coach students at U.C.L.A. Law School and peer-to-peer mediators in L.A. middle schools. Michelle was recommended by Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, for the President's Volunteer Service Award and Bronze medal, which was awarded to her by President Barack Obama.

In addition to holding a master's in directing from AFI, Michelle holds a Bachelor of Science in digital filmmaking from the Los Angeles Film School.

Currently, Michelle is finishing her master's and working on her doctorate in Sustainability Education at Prescott College, the first PhD of its kind in the United States.

I started my career as a software engineer before moving into product management, where I combine two things that define me: a builder’s mindset and a creative spirit. I’ve been drawing since childhood, and that visual thinking shapes how I design, ask questions, and solve complex problems. Today I lead AI and analytics products at LSports, driven by curiosity, passion, and a love for turning ambiguity into something real.

When I faced the challenge of discovery without customers, I put on both hats - PM and builder - and created an agentic persona system from scratch. That project changed the way I collaborate with AI and make decisions. Beyond building products, I’m deeply committed to mentoring and helping others push beyond their comfort zone. On stage, I share honest stories, practical insights, and a belief that innovation is possible for anyone willing to experiment.

Eric Wada is a cultural practitioner and Indigenous graduate scholar at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani, College of Hawaiian Language, Program for Indigenous Language and Culture Revitalization and Education. His work bridges performing arts, language, and ceremony to explore Okinawan identity, diaspora, and decolonial practice. Through the philosophy of Nadayashiku—conciliation as a pedagogy for survival—Wada examines how Indigenous and land-based education can foster responsible allyship, heal generational trauma, and inspire language revitalization grounded in ancestral worldview through decolonizing and re-indigenizing methodology. "From our experiences, decolonization as a process places us within a multi-layered social dermis where imperial and colonial powers have impregnated politics and cultures (Smith 2021, p. XV, Decolonizing Methodologies)."
