Hey there, it's great to
connect with you!
I'm Aditya— a design thinker, accessibility expert, and design systems specialist, with a Master's in Information Science.
I thrive on challenging conventions, standards, and methodologies in UX to ensure our designs dynamically adapt to the ever-evolving needs of users. My commitment to continuous learning fuels my growth as both a designer and a lifelong learner.
With a foundation in architecture, I have over 5 years of work experience in user-centered design, working with some fantastic clients in finance, tech, and hospitality.
Career Objective
My goal is to lead the future of user experience by integrating emerging tech (think generative AI and mixed reality [for now]). I'm passionate about staying on the cutting edge, continually upskilling to ensure design drives innovation.
I strive to lead interdisciplinary teams to develop user-centered products that are accessible, inclusive, and delightful to use. I leverage data-driven research and emerging technologies to constantly refine the design process and deliver impactful, measurable results. Ultimately, my passion lies in creating meaningful experiences that positively impact people's lives and ignite user engagement with technology in new and exciting ways.

Life beyond 9 to 5: my creative adventures
MIXED-MEDIA ANIMATION
Role: Conceptualization, video editing
"Reminisce" is a mixed-media animation compositing 90s cartoon and video game characters against a live university backdrop. Made with Adobe Creative Suite.
GAME DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Role: Conceptualization, programming
Dragon Eggs is an indie game I created using Pygame - a cross-platform module for video game development in Python. I programmed the game physics from scratch, without a game engine, which helped me better understand game engines.
CHALK CARVING / SCULPTING
Chalk carving has been a cherished hobby of mine since childhood, providing a calming way to unwind during moments of contemplation.
I often find myself indulging in this activity, which allows me to create unique and expressive faces, as well as experiment with abstract figures. I've honed my skills to the point where I can complete a detailed face carving in under an hour, making it an accessible and immensely rewarding craft.
