My Experience as an Interaction Designer at PES University & Beyond
As an interaction designer at PES University, my professional journey is defined by a commitment to user-centered design and iterative problem-solving. Based in the heart of the Bangalore tech community, I have cultivated a diverse portfolio that spans product research, interface design, and growth marketing. This page details my professional background and the specific design methodologies I apply as an interaction designer in Bangalore.
Deep-Dive: Product & Interaction Design at PES University
The interaction design program at PES University is known for its focus on the "Design + Tech" bridge. During my time at PES, I have specialized in creating high-fidelity prototypes and conducting usability testing for complex digital systems. My academic projects, such as Fizz, have been featured within the PES University design department for their innovative approach to personal relationship management and mobile interaction.
My Design Process as a Bangalore Interaction Designer
Being a product designer in Bangalore requires a balance of speed and precision. Whether I am working on a startup project or a large-scale application, my process remains consistent:
Discovery & Research: I begin every project by identifying user pain points. For the BUB app, this involved deep ethnographic research to understand the emotional journey of users in transition.
Interaction Mapping: Drawing from my interaction design studies at PES University, I map out user flows that prioritize clarity and minimal friction.
Visual Language: I often lean toward Swiss Minimalism or Neo-Brutalism, depending on the brand's identity. This was evident in my work for the Pepaco website and my redesign of YouTube Music.
Iterative Prototyping: Utilizing tools like Figma and Framer, I build interactive prototypes that allow for real-world testing and rapid feedback loops.
Impact at 100x.bot and Kalaari Capital
My work as an interaction designer in Bangalore extends beyond the classroom. At 100x.bot, I’ve applied growth design principles to help the company scale within the AI sector. Similarly, my experience at Kalaari Capital allowed me to see how high-level branding and interaction design influence the broader Bangalore startup ecosystem.
Future-Proofing Design for the Next Generation
As I complete my degree at PES University, I am looking for roles that challenge my skills as an interaction designer. My goal is to stay at the forefront of the Bangalore design scene, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in digital product development.
