What wakes me up on Mondays?
I try to enable product visionaries using design thinking tools.
As an architect and industrial designer, I've always had a strong inclination towards learning new tools to do the job better. I am currently sensemaking about the digital tools that I've learned over the years.
Testimonials
You see things differently in design, and that always adds fresh energy and food for thought. What I appreciate even more is your fearless honesty and your constant hunger to learn, grow, and push yourself to do better every single day.
Uday Shanker
Senior Vice President, Arcesium
Years of experience made me think I had all the answers. Harshit's questions proved otherwise. I was solving the wrong problem entirely. That's the difference between taking a brief and questioning if it's worth doing.
Layesh Pallath
Vice President, Arcesium
Harshit's cohesiveness of thought amazes me. His ability to bring timeless design laws in complex business problems is truly remarkable. Would love to work with you again.
Sandeep Nandi
Design Manager, Innovaccer
Harshit is the kind of designer developers enjoy working with: thoughtful, structured, and focused on solving the actual problem rather than just making things look good. Would happily collaborate again.
