Full bio

Based in Singapore, Vignesh Kaushik is Gensler’s Design Technology Director for Asia Pacific, Middle East and Greater China, where he leads the advancement of design technology across the region. His work sits at the intersection of design, technology and people, connecting digital strategy, computational design, AI and emerging technologies to rethink how design teams work and create. Vignesh leads a diverse design technology community exploring new possibilities across generative design, computational systems, visualization, software development and agile digital tools. At the heart of his approach is a simple belief: technology should not be an add-on to design, but an integral part of how ideas are imagined, tested and brought to life. A published researcher and regular speaker at national and international forums, Vignesh contributes to the broader conversation around AI, machine learning, design computation and BIM. He is equally passionate about developing the next generation of designers and technologists, having taught advanced computational design at institutions across Southeast Asia and mentored architecture students as they begin their careers. Through his work, research and teaching, Vignesh continues to explore how design, technology and storytelling can come together to create more intelligent, meaningful and human experiences.
