Hey, I am Harshal!

During my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering, I discovered a course that profoundly influenced my career trajectory. It taught me how to identify problems, uncover key issues, and devise effective solutions. Through this course, I learned the principles of design thinking and smart product design, revealing how thoughtful design can simplify lives, enhance accessibility, streamline daily tasks, and improve overall user experiences.

 

This realization led me to pursue a Master of Science degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Indiana University. Currently, I am a User Experience Designer at Citi Bank, where I apply my passion for design to create intuitive and impactful user experiences.

 

My design philosophy revolves around three core principles: simplicity, intuitiveness, and consistency. I believe that great design should be easy to understand, seamless to use, and consistent across all platforms.

 

Outside of my professional role, I have a deep love for movies and sports. Soccer and cricket, in particular, have taught me the value of hard work and team spirit. I also have a passion for exploring new and unfamiliar places, often capturing the beauty of these moments through photography.
