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 .

a few chapters from the work

Battery passport for Mercedes Benz EV's

A battery's whole life, made visible - built so customers and regulators could finally trust what's inside, under EU law.

Car and vans technical data management

The data behind the next generation of vehicles - structured so engineering and marketing could finally work from the same truth.

CO2 footprint calculation of EV battery

Tracing a battery's carbon footprint end to end - regulatory compliance was the requirement, finding the hidden hotspots was the real win.

Open drone map website redesign

A smoother front door for an open-source tool - so installing it, and contributing back to it, stopped being the hard part.

Every project leaves something behind worth writing down

Align prototype with human behaviour

I'd been waiting for this feature before I knew its name. The day AI prototyping arrived, I was already in - this is the story of what changed once real behaviour, drove the prototype.

SUS score as a recruitment tool

How a 900 user survey stopped being a scoreboard and became a map - the number didn't just say how bad things were, it told me exactly who to talk to next.
