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 sports 🏓, watching Formula 1 🏎️, exploring food 🍲, video gaming with friends 🎮 & anything that is related to watches ⌚ and sports/luxury cars 🚗.

Apart from my design profession, I possess a passion for music. I play drums 🥁 & I’ve recently started taking piano lessons 🎹.

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