Hi :)
I'm Nisarga
I am pursuing master's in Human-Computer Interaction at The University of Texas at Austin.
I love uncovering insights that shape exceptional user experiences and designing products that help businesses thrive.
About
Along with a background in Information Technology, I have been involved in spearheading and contributing to the design domain at student organizations and interning at startups to build modern and functional designs of products. Keen on aesthetics, inspired by curiosity, I get excited about studying users to discover their needs and understand the human mind. I empathize and craft solutions that empower, connect, and delight.
Aside from that, I like practicing dance, managing events, and some extra spicy food. I love exploring new places and visiting beaches!
