Amol Kadam
I began in art and design, earned a master’s qualification in Human-Computer Interaction, and moved from Mumbai to Dubai in 2005. Over 30 years, my work has ranged from products and furniture to websites, apps, and services.
I co-founded RBBI, which has worked in UX and usability in Dubai since 2011, and XDC, an experience design consultancy. My PhD focused on human-centered design innovation and digital transformation.
I work with founders and established teams to improve customer experience, apply AI technology, and scale their services. That starts with understanding where customers get stuck and what the team needs to change behind the scenes.
I draw on UX, service design, usability, and accessibility to decide which improvements are worth pursuing. With startups, I help founders turn those decisions into a clearer plan for growth.
I’ve led workshops for universities and corporations across the GCC, Europe, and India. I also design workshops for organisations that want to make their approach to innovation more human-centred.
I’ve taught UX as a guest lecturer at three universities in the UAE and India. At Manipal Executive Education, I designed the UX course and its materials and taught two cohorts.
I write about design, digital strategy, usability, and accessibility, and have contributed to Entrepreneur magazine in Dubai.
One explores how to design physical services, from what people encounter when they arrive to the spaces, people, and processes that shape their experience.
The other explores mindfulness and what paying closer attention can bring to everyday life.
Conferences and events
I speak at regional and international conferences on user experience, service design, and digital transformation. I’ve also led workshops for organisations including Dubai Future Foundation, GITEX, Middlesex University, and AstroLabs.
