Abhinit's Introduction

About

ABHINIT N PARELKAR

Hi there!

I am an UX/Interaction Designer with a multi-disciplinary background who takes delight in shaping digital experiences for people’s use.

Influenced by the design ethos of Dieter Rams and Naoto Fukasawa, I made a decision to transition my career from technology (Computer Science) to design (Interaction Design) to fulfill my appetite for making complex systems simple and delightful to use. As a design practitioner, I believe that design as a discipline can change the notion of our relationship with a product or technology.

Solving problems/challenges irrespective of their dimensions (either 2D or 3D) through sheer cross-functional collaboration, user empathy and design process is what drives me. I relish in understanding how users interact with products, systems, and services in a real environment, which urges me to regard the human element in the design.

My Pastime

 

I love traveling, playing/watching sports, especially Formula 1, video gaming with friends and anything that is related to watches/Lego/sports cars/B&O speakers.

Apart from design, I possess a passion for music. I play piano and try to compose music.

I strongly believe that we always remain as a student no matter at what stage we reach in our life. To me reading and learning are one of the ways that keeps me grounded. This is my bookshelf that I’m growing every year.
