I’m Silka — a product designer with 20 years of experience working with new technologies, I deeply care about the impact design has on our whole lives.
Recently, I worked at Adobe as part of the Emerging Design team, where I drove product innovation across the company. I collaborated with cross-functional partners from early ideation through implementation and ran Adobe’s Design Lab, delivering some of Adobe's first-to-market AR, VR, and AI creative tools.
Prior to that, I co-founded an AR startup called Dekko. Our vision was to build a platform for developers to create real-world interactions, merging the line between physical and digital worlds. Later, my co-founder sold it to Niantic as 6D.ai.
I have an Australian accent but currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my two wonderful, angsty teenagers. In my free time, I love mentoring artists, designers, and startups, as well as doodling with art projects. If you're nearby, let's grab a coffee sometime.
