I am a Ahmedabad-based UX Researcher focused on HCI4D.
Hii y'all! I am Kartik, a senior undergrad from India. If I were to describe myself in one word that would be Explorer. If I were to define myself in one sentence that would be "UX Design+Research is my ikigai."
I believe in learning by doing. I iterate over alternatives. My work experience include a 2 month Internship at a Startup, a 2 month Research Internship at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan, a 2 month internship at Nokia Solutions and Networks, 5 months volunteering at 50 Hands Organization. For detailed CV, go to Research/CV
Skills : Programming, Prototyping, Contextual Inquiry, Qualitative Research, Ethnography, Survey, In-depth interviews.
While work is usually fun to me, what I do apart from work is listen to music, write poetries in 3 different languages, listen to the podcast, travel, star gaze, curating a Bucket List.
I occasionally play (try to :D) Piano.
The white thread below the neck that you can see in the photo above is called Janoi in Gujarati. In the ancient Vedic culture, Janoi symbolises discipline, defines character and set of values to live upto. The sacred thread signifies that we are dedicated to abide by the rules and regulations to live a disciplined, fullfilled and purpose-driven life.
