Kiba Design is a Product Design and Innovation Consultancy established in 2005, as a space to explore a stream of highly varied professional work and to pursue several self-initiated projects and experiments. The studio has been involved in varied industries from digital technology to physical products, systems and spaces, and for clients ranging from individual entrepreneurs to multinationals and various bodies in the Indian government.
Apart from physical products and spaces, a large part of our work is in innovation and strategic design consulting - where we advise on leveraging design as a strategic tool, going beyond its functional dimension to the heart of the problem. We strive to create lasting change.
