About
Hey, I’m Anand.
I am a user experience designer, visual designer, product designer, and coder.
I have an Engineering degree in Computer Science, and out of my interest in design, I did my Master's in User Experience Design (UXD) from Kent State University.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to get in touch. anandgagarin@gmail.com
Why am I in the field of design?
It is a chain reaction - My love for design and animation started the cartoons. I started with frame-by-frame animation in Macromedia Flash when I was in the 8th grade. I started using Photoshop to satisfy the image needs for the animation done in Flash. I gradually started falling in love with design and started exploring various fields of design. As time progressed, I realized that satisfying the user is the foremost thing and started shifting towards UXD!
