@akshataanand
I design practical, engaging products through sketching, prototyping, and iterative user-focused design.
What I'm looking for
I'm an Industrial Designer who creates products that balance functionality, aesthetics, and user experience. I explore ideas hands-on through sketching, prototyping, and iterative design.
At Smartivity, I worked on product design, packaging, graphics, prototyping, and user testing for engaging STEM toys, helping improve functionality, assembly experience, and visual communication.
I've also led branding for Nihar Technocrafts and developed brand identity and marketing assets. At Skakra Innovations, I collaborated with engineers on branding, poster design, 3D modeling, prototyping, and market-ready products.
My earlier design work includes social media content, presentations, infographics, reports, and architectural conceptualization, drafting, and presentations. I aim to create practical, meaningful solutions that bring value to everyday life.
