My name is Sanat Shirodkar

I’m a CS engineer turned self-taught UX designer based out of Goa, India

During my time in college, I tried my hands on a bunch of different things - from event photography to graphic designing through freelancing and internships - to figure out what exactly I'm good at & what I like doing.

UX Design happened to perfectly tick all the boxes I was looking for.

I've always been intrigued by tech and creative art.

I enjoy creating things - whether it's putting together a whole bunch of Lego bricks or a 10,000-piece puzzle.

I'm incredibly detail-oriented. Despite what some people may say, I enjoy striving for perfection.

Human psychology has always piqued my curiosity and the ways in which design leverages it fascinates me!
