Why I love practicing design. Every day.
I’m a pre-final year undergrad studying Industrial Design at the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. I love crafting meaningful and impactful user experiences through cognitive psychology. Most recently, I volunteered as UX designer at UNDP where I was focused on designing an online game website for Mission 1.5 in Action. Also, I was a part of 10k Designers Masterclass Cohort 2. I’m currently seeking full-time internship opportunities.
Coming from a background in both engineering and design, I love connecting the dots between business goals, technical constraints, and user satisfaction. The design journey that I started with the aim of making things look better changed me into a person who aims to create digital experiences that make life easier.
I believe that the projects I have worked on have been the highlight of my design journey. I have been influenced to constantly look for problems around me and solutions to them; for challenges like these are what drive me to work relentlessly through sleepless nights for hours on end. And I love every moment of them.
In an alternate universe - I am leading the design team of TEDxNITRourkela, Monday Morning, and DesignTab.
Apart from this, I love dark mode, experimenting with new tools, badminton, photography, binging series, and reading books related to design, psychology, and productivity.
