About / Hanumanth R. Kalburgie

A designer’s eye.
A leader’s perspective.

I'm a Singapore-based Design Lead with over 20 years of experience shaping products, growing teams, and building design systems.

My journey began in fine arts and evolved into visual, UX, and product design. Since then, I've focused on creating experiences that are simple, useful, and meaningful for people.

At HP, I've contributed to five generations of printer products while leading designers across India, China, Seoul, and Barcelona. Working closely with engineering and research teams, I've helped turn ideas into products that deliver quality at scale.

Leadership in practice

Give people clarity.
Make room for craft.

01

Align across disciplines.

I work with product stakeholders, firmware engineering, industrial design, UX, and research to make design direction practical and shared.

02

Develop the team and the work.

Direction, critique, mentoring, and quality oversight help distributed designers build confidence and deliver a coherent experience.

03

Connect design to implementation.

Component libraries, guidelines, and design QA help teams carry the intended experience through to the product.
