Beyond the work

Hi, I'm Rudhra.

A product designer who makes sense and cents.

The version your hiring manager meets — a research-driven product designer who turns messy problems into calm, shipped interfaces across healthtech, edtech, SaaS & AI. Flip the switch to meet the other one.

During hours · 9 — 6

I open the laptop and chase quiet clarity.

Most days move between listening to users and drawing the interface they didn't know they wanted. Research and craft, in that order — one feeds the other and neither one stops.

Education

M.S. Creative Technology & Design

CU Boulder · GPA 3.9 · 2022 — 2024. Before that, a B.Tech in Computer Science (3.83) — the reason I read tickets like a developer.

“Research tells me what's true. Craft makes it usable. The job is keeping those two in the same room until they agree.”

After hours · laptop closed

I close the laptop and open something deeper.

Most evenings split between long-form YouTube documentaries and a controller in hand. Both feed the same thing — I like watching a system reveal itself, whether it's a city, an algorithm, or a fictional world.

Now playing: Minecraft — redstone era

Logic gates, item sorters, the occasional working calculator. The rest are old saves I keep coming back to.
