01 / About

I design between

logic and feeling.

A UX and visual designer shaped by research, systems thinking, and a restless eye for detail.

Designing across disciplines

My approach

I’m drawn to the moment when a useful idea becomes something people can feel.

I’m Shashank Katariya, a multidisciplinary designer pursuing an M.S. in Human–Computer Interaction at IU Indianapolis. My background spans graphic, visual, motion, branding, and packaging design, with a growing focus on thoughtful digital experiences.

Before beginning my master’s, I worked at Accenture, Genpact, and Iotech Designs. I enjoy developing ideas, working through the details, and turning a complex brief into something clear and useful.

Outside design, I’m a traveller, photographer, gamer, and night owl. Observing people, places, and everyday details keeps me curious—and often finds its way back into my work.
