Hola!
I’m an Industrial Designer based out of India. I graduated with a master's degree at Institut Supérieur De Design Rubika in 2017 from India, Pune. I am currently working as a Design Manager and a Freelancer, looking for opportunities to emote my creativity in the Product Design Industry. Thus, I consider myself as an employee by the day and a creative torchbearer by night.
As a child, I perceived objects differently and always wondered how they could be better. It is this curiosity that has driven me to design. Design for me is based upon my observations and the want to discover answers to questions that have never been asked before.
I communicate and emote my creativity based on the visual details and the intangibles of psychology. For me, it’s not just about being detail-oriented, but also to identify what kind of details matter. I consciously examine and polish every element of my design - whether simple or complicated. Cause it's Perfection that I strive for.
Design is always about seeing the bigger picture, and my job as a designer is to listen, observe, and understand the user. This learning enables me to design user-centered products that are expressive in helping the users in their everyday life by making the invisible - visible.

Wilddesign
Industrial Design Intern
Wilddesign is Europe's leading design agency in the medical and healthcare industry. Its headquarters are based in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. I worked on both conceptual and live projects which associated with product, user interface, and packaging design. During my time I understood that medical product design is not, to surprise the consumer or to delight. It is designed for its utility purposes. Our job as designers is to improve this utility by making it more user-friendly and welcoming not just for the person using it but also on whom it is being used on. Through this internship, I learned how to work around these constraints of the industry. I also got a chance to work and interact with multiple clients and engineers that helped me understand the pros and cons of the solutions that I proposed. During this Internship, I worked on over 16 projects, out of which ten products are in the market.
