I'm Krishna and, this is my story
During the lockdown period, amidst the mundane routine, I stumbled upon a course online that introduced me to the fascinating world of UI/UX. Since then, i’ve spent my days dedicated to honing not only the visual aspects of design but also its inherent logic. Evolving from a self-taught designer to a proud graduate holding a Masters in UX Design from Loughborough University, my journey has been one of relentless pursuit and growth.
Exploring UX has enlightened me to the captivating interplay between humans and products. With technology woven into our daily existence, I'm driven to empower users, offering them command over how technology integrates into their lives.

More about me
In addition to being a dedicated student and perpetual learner, I indulge in my passion for reading, digital illustration, occasional doodling, the art of hand-lettering and recently fibre arts. To sum it up creating things with my hands is my source of joy.
