I'm Dania Khan, a systems thinker, interaction designer, and cultural provocateur working at the edge of what design can do and who it can serve.My practice is rooted in social innovation and strategic foresight drawing on speculative methods and design methodologies to surface the tensions that mainstream tech would rather smooth over: whose futures are being built, whose voices shape them, and what gets lost when design prioritizes efficiency over humanity.As a South Asian designer, I bring a diasporic, cross-cultural perspective when designing interactions and experiences that challenge assumptions, center marginalized futures, and refuse easy comfort.I believe every interface is an argument, and every system encodes a worldview. My job is to make that visible, and to build something better in its place.
