Hi, I'm, Abhijit

a product designer and I'm passionable about technology and creating beautiful digital experiences.

Currently

I work as a UX Designer at Foolproof, where we provide product and experience design expertise to various companies.

Education

In 2012, I graduated with B.E. in Electronics Engineering from Pune University. This helped in nurturing a fascination towards digital products and usability.

In 2016, I completed M.Des (Interaction Design) program at IIIT Jabalpur.

In free time

I love reading a good book, explore new locations, photography, and watching football. I like to experiment with code and web tools. When I want to relax, I like to sit at my piano and practice some enjoyable tunes.
