Hello, from my desk:
My name is Apurva and I am a designer!
So, how did it all start? Way back in NIT Patna, where my liking for design was way more significant than the forthcoming career opportunities after completing B.Tech. After months of introspection and a much-coveted passion for design, I dropped out of NIT Patna and chose a path that was paved with zeal, admiration, and perseverance, leading to admission at NID Ahmedabad.
Going to NID, everything felt different. Learning by doing was engaging. I developed skills in research and design. My academic projects deal with diverse issues in our society exploring tangible to digital interactions.
I’m currently working as a UX designer. I’m good at UX assessments, both primary and desk research, brainstorming ideas, creating user stories, wireframing, and presentations.
