Dinesh is an Art Director and Product Designer at Meta
Currently, at Meta, Dinesh is responsible for building strategic, narrative-driven experiences on the Facebook app, using machine learning effects, Reels, avatars, web3, and the Metaverse products.
Before joining Meta, Dinesh worked at Apple on the Interactive dot com team, helping launch Apple’s newest products into the world wide web. Previously, he worked at AKQA and Wieden+Kennedy in Portland, Oregon where he designed delightful marketing campaigns in a variety of mediums, such as print, web, film, motion, and interactive experiences for clients like Levis, Oreo, Coca-Cola, and Nike.
Originally from London, England, he left at the age of 18 to pursue the American dream. He currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, California where he happily no longer worries about crummy British weather, but dearly misses crumpets. When he’s not playing with pixels in Figma, Dinesh likes to direct and edit films, work on his first NFT collection, DJ 90s UK garage music, and care for his extensive cactus collection.
For over ten years Dinesh has been a mentor to dozens of young designers across the world, and lectured hundreds, helping them navigate their creative careers pre and post-graduation, and guiding them to achieve their ambitions.
Dinesh believes is a very hands-on approach. He works closely with his mentees and offers transparent guidance and practical support to get portfolios into tip-top shape for employers to drool over. Dinesh continues to coach his mentees to successfully meet with recruiters, deliver impactful presentations, and approach design leadership within an organization with thoughtful, considerate, and well-crafted work.
