Hey there!
I'm Aryan, a UX/UI designer who loves bridging aest–bla, bla, bla…let's be real—you've probably read something along the same lines a hundred times on a hundred portfolios by now. So let me give you something new and unique to scroll through—me and my life!
Outside work, I'm on a limitless pill geeking out on self improvement and mindfulness in everything that I do. The reason is really simple—to enjoy a life of abundance and give no room for regret for my future self.

A little story…
From a young age, I was fascinated by two things — drawing and computers, and from as long as I can remember, I could draw better than the average (yeah boasting) and people were quick to notice it. Whether it was school or home, my art file earned me instant praises and validation, I was literally killing it! Alongside sketching, I discovered the world of gaming early on, thanks to the laptop my dad brought home just to watch CDs.
Middle school for me was all about experimentation. From excelling at finding the real download button on sketchy websites to get games like GTA, NFS, or Far Cry, to jailbreaking my android phone with a flashy new OS — I was always tinkering with tech. Sure, there were a few mishaps that happened every now and then, like the 12-15 times I turned my laptop into a virus museum and had to delete all the data and reinstall windows, or when I almost sent my phone in an endless coma…but hey, go science!
By the end of 12th grade, I was facing the big question: “What now?” If you read this far, you might assume I went for science stream — but no, I somehow landed in Arts…that's two more years of time to think what to do in life next, hehe. Now with subjects like history and political science, I could get into a law school, or prepare for an administrative role, but none of it was quite 'me'. All I knew was I want to do something new and different in life, something that resonated with me.
I figured graphic design might be the answer I was looking for, but it wasn't really sustainable long term. So I had to look for something else. A bit more googling led me to the term 'User Experience Design'. The more I read, the more it clicked — "So you could solve real-world problems affecting real people using empathy, psychology, creativity, and you don't even need an engineering background to pursue this?!" Sold! I'm in. And that’s where the journey began...
