Card 1

Hi, I'm Bibin Thomas,

a design leader and maker.

My journey started with a pencil, long before it started with a screen. Curiosity got more strength when I studied computer science, and it got a purpose over the decade since building for startups and NGOs and enterprises in education, geospatial, and automotive. Right now, that purpose lives as a principal product designer at Mercedes Benz .
