I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Hyderabad, specializing in Lifestyle and Fashion Accessories. My passion for design is fueled by a deep-rooted interest in art and creativity. As a product designer, I thrive on hands-on work, spending substantial time in college labs experimenting with machines and materials like wood, and metal, and employing 3D printing techniques.
My education encompasses a broad range of product design fields, including Industrial Product Design, Furniture and Decor Design, Space Design, UI/UX Product Design, Branding, and Visual Communication. I possess a working knowledge of operating various prototyping lab equipment, which complements my material handling skills.
For me, design is about the seamless integration of design principles, technology, and aesthetics to create enriching user experiences, whether through digital or tangible products. My ultimate goal is to merge form and function to develop products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhance people's interactions with the world, making a positive impact through innovation and creativity.
